Die I and Die II.
Look at the facial features of SG 22.
It has poorly defined engraved lines
that define the cheeks, nose and particularly
the forehead. This is a Die I. Now compare
the same features on the retouched Die II of
SG 24. You will see SG 24's features are
slightly crisper, with more detail.
