I am by no means an expert on anything White Eagle, nor would I consider myself knowledgeable of the brand but those eyes seem...different.
Best advice is to be extremely wary of reproductions. They are everywhere and seem to copy everything from globes and signs to pumps and cans. Do your research and when you think you have done enough, do more.
Looking for rare ephemera - maps, ads, smalls, etc - and the occasional can.

I have never seen these globes with these eyes. I'll check the feather pattern on mine because these seem to be different?

We believe that the eyes were added at some point, however they have been in my possession for 40 years so I know they are not reproductions. Not sure of the source as I got them as an inheritance from a relative. Good answer!

Inheritance? Interesting... You might "ruffle some feathers" with that answer. Positive it wasn't a pawn shop liquidation?

Are the eyes glued in? Take your fingernail and see if the pop off. It would be easy for someone who is not into the hobby to be tempted to ad eyes to ad realism to their eagles. The one on the right might be a little questionable. Lets see a better picture.
