You have a keen eye, zenmaster. It is at this point that I have found the necessity of satisfying myself with the closest deck I can find. My real concern is the cards whose symbols were not covered in detail by Don. While the ultimate deciding factor in choosing a deck was personal resonance, the nominal goal was to find a deck of cards that can be safely assumed to be within a reasonable tolerance of similarity to the original images given by Ra, so that I could move forward on archetypes 8-22 without too much concern for distractions and omissions concerning symbolism. I know they are present, but I'll just have to trust my intuition on this one.
I get the impression that you doubt the usefulness of the deck based on the confused banter of C.C. Zane within his companion book. This is a very good point. And it is primarily this reason which gives me the feeling that it is not the "ultimate" deck for me. But it is the best I've got right now.
