Is this Tech Head & Handle mis-matched?

Can someone verify for me if the Tech Head and Fat Handle shown in this pic don't belong together? I suspect the Tech Head with the diamond Gillette logo on top should go with a heavy ball-tip Tech handle, and that the Fat Handle should always have a Head without a logo?

Thanks for your help! :cool:

the cap on my set is a little bit different, but with Logo too. I don´t know, how long the Fat Handle Tech was made:

I have a W-1 (1951) fat handle Tech. I think there was an overlapping period of a few years (late 40s-early 50s) that you could find both fat and slim handle Techs.
 
So it looks like this could be a correct set of head and handle, with an X1 date code. Thanks everyone. :cool:
 
I thought the fat handled Tech were an older model, like right after they switched from the NEW to the Tech.

While many of the early Techs had the fat handle it still lingered for several years after the move to the more advanced Tech head. I too have seen a 1951 a with fat handle. That may have been the final year as they ran out the handle stock.
