I'm having problems with this one and it could just be the photography. The remaining rivets look correct and in the correct position, but I can't get a visual of shelving and that date stamp just looks way too clear and shiny. I have attached a picture of one area of the auction piece and a known original.

Yes. it seems as though even with a bad pic if there were shelving there would be a "rolled" effect as in the bottom picture. It just seems too flat.

E-bay right now is flooded with 15" reproduction Texaco lubster signs.

10 inchers are a bit less common, though.
