Any reference for the Private Sandtrooper ears?

[P3laton3[501st]]

I almost finished to restore my helmet, and I am painting the ears.

I filled the rounded square shape with the Humbrol Grey with the Black outline, but I am struggle to find references for the vertical line that should be linked to the rank.

Any suggestions?

With lack of better references, 1 single black stripe on either the last or second last bump of each ear is a good solution.

I saw people paint the line between the bumps and sometimes at different distance from ear to ear from the very end of the square, is it right?

The original helmets are inconsistent and a bit sloppy in the way the stripes were painted, but I'm pretty confident in that the line was intended to be painted on top of the bump. And so far I've never seen an ANH helmet with more than 1 line per ear, and lines on other than on the last two bumps.

Thank you very much, I'll post some pictures in the next few days.
