Authenticate Those SHOES

I would kindly ask the advice regarding the second hand purchase of older yellow Hermes oran epsom leather sandals. Shoes are quite worn, but all looks absolutely fine, also they feel in hand and on legs same as original, except what surprised me is the difference in ´on E on soles compared to my boutique purchased pair (old around 3 years). The print is much stronger and ´ is clearly connected to E while on the boutique purchased pair it is thinner and not connected and not so deep. Can you please advise if older versions of oran sandals used to have such soles? I did some research online and seems such soles often pass the authentication test too, but still I somehow difference seems too much.... I thought soles should be 100% same for ages :). Thank you kindly!

Hello, thank you. I will amend the post accordingly.
Hello, I am adding, hopefully, all photos needed for authentication. Shoes have some inperfections and are worn, but this I saw on boutique purchased ones too sometimes. Still the most tricky for me is ‘ on Hermes on outer sole which seems too deep and connected to E. Thank you. 86BB6A49-75F4-430C-8883-62260A1A8E0D.jpeg3F3BB715-4923-462A-836D-B7643FD85046.jpeg

Authentic IMO

Hi everyone, I just made an impulse purchase on TRR and now I'm second guessing if it's authentic. I'm not able to find the style anywhere else, it doesn't even appear on Google images so maybe it's a really old style? I might have some time to cancel the order if it's deemed to be not authentic.

Better pictures would be preferred, but shoes are likely authentic. Manolo has designed around 40,000 styles of shoes in his life so it may be challenging to find a specific vintage style anywhere online without the name of the shoe.
