Embroidery

The 2 curves in C3 are almost touching each other at the base whereas in C3.1 they are parallel to each other. 

In C3 you notice a long curve at the base of the jabot touching the base of other three curves of the jabot whereas in C3.1 the curve is shorter and higher from the base of the jabot and away from base of other 3 curves of the jabot. 

Also in Obv C3 the embroidery is in low relief giving an incused effect compared to C3.1 which is in high Relief and without any incuse effect.
