Potential Tomy Clover 1/46 Aura Battler Billbine

Greetings everyone,
Recently, I've come across an Ebay listing of a 1/46 Scaled Aura Battler Billbine made by Tomy. I did some research, and thanks to CollectionDX it looks like a high quality KO. The box is also missing the ST logo on the lower right corner. Is this true?

Here is the listing:

Here's some more info on this toy. I had asked about the larger version of it a number of years back.

Thanks for the info, perhaps it will solve the case.

Basically, I would not call it a KO. I believe it was produced during a transitional phase among companies, and the manufacturer's markings were eliminated probably in a rush to get it out to the market while the show was still hot or relevant.

Would the figure itself be different? In some versions, the beak is grey (Original) and others a bright yellow. Also the shades of red is different. Again, thank you for your help.
