72/73 Nishiki Professional Decal Photo Request

Looking for a few high-resolution photo(s) of the seat tube decals that originally came on my recently purchased 72/73 Nishiki Professional (thanks hwheel72)
FS: 72 Nishiki Professional - Bike Forums
#4 & #5 on this now non available Velocals set. I have the dimensions, but grabbing photos from here and the internet were not high res enough for the decal maker.
I think pics of the Velocals decals would also work as they look exactly like the originals.
I knew my OCD mind would not let me have such a nice bike without proper decals!
Mike

Yours is a Road Compe.
The Professional model came out a couple of years later.
I don't know how much they changed anything, other than the appearance.

John E Why do you think that's not a 72 Professional? It looks exactly like the one I have in my bike room, also a '72 Professional. It's also identical to the '72 Professional in the Japanese Steel book. Notice the KataKura Silk decals on the bi-plane front fork.

Any chance that Professional you have hanging in your bike room has photograph worthy decals on the seat tube?

Mine doesn't have decal like #4 and #5 on the seat tube. The decal that is there is partially worn away.

Thanks all the same. Looks like getting an acceptable picture for a decal reproduction might be harder than I thought.
