Wenger Interesting Specimen - Dynasty Series Puzzle

Attached is a beat up old knife I bought just because of this little puzzle, and I wanted to see just what the beatup scales on the Dynasty series really looked liked.
The puzzle is... the emblem etched on the Knife matches that used exclusively on the "Lancelot" model, but the tools of this knife match that of the "Gawain".
Has any one seen anything that would explain this unexpected combination of scales and tools?

Some of the King Arthurs had a modified hunting motif handle (left). In the close-up note the difference in the ram's horns, the replacement of the hunter by a fish, etc. Haven't seen either of these handles on the Gawain. Do have a Galahad (locking version of Gawain) with another handle, one with a stag on it (bottom). As a side note, the Dynasties were sold in some parts of Europe as the Diplomat series.

Oh thanks for the information. I think I might have seen that alternate hunter motif before, but it never registered as different to me. I'll have to pay more attention. I think I passed up a nice knife on ebay because I didn't recognize the change.
I don't have any of them with the Stag on it, so that's another thing that's new to me about these knives.
I think they make these slight variation to drive us crazy... it's no wonder we can't keep the names and models straight.
I wonder if they have every made a model that they didn't change... that might be a collector's piece? Maybe the 1908 Soldier is the closest that comes to stayng consistent for the loggest period of time.

The model 1908 Soldier to 1951: 43 years; the model 1961 Soldier to 2008: 47 years.
What might be the longest-lived model of Officer's Knife? (With minor variations)
