not really an Aristocrat Junior

It does look a lot like the one shown here:

My Aristocrat Jr. has a flat bottom plate. Like the one here:

But according to the first site above diamond ones do exist. The images on the bay are too small to read what is on the bottom plate.

I really don't think the diamond shape is the design for a true Junior. The shape, balance, and weight is so different with the solid plate -- the shave ideal -- that other design must be a Super Speed or other Rocket. Not a Junior, regardless what these other sites or Ebay sellers claim.
Actually a Rocket in a Jr case? I probably wouldn't have spotted that if you hadn't mentioned it. Good thing I wasn't bidding.
Def a Rocket, and a nice one at that.
I considered sending him a PM, but I have given up on setting people straight.

Here is another diamond "Rocket Style" Aristocrat Jr from Achim's site:

But like you said it's hard to know without feeling the weight and heft of the Jr. in question.
found this one as well:

Interesting, I could understand one being mislabeled/misboxed, but two? The plot thickens.
I´ve seen many of these matches. The inside of the case from my Rocket like Aristocrat jr. is different:
