1982 Red Sox Road Jersey: Correct Fonts?

[Robert Sanders]

Does anyone have an opinion about the authenticity of the lettering used on the jersey in the attached image, which is being sold as a 1982 Boston Red Sox road jersey? I do not have the jersey on me, only photos from the seller of the lettering, uniform number and tagging. I should say that the Wilson and year tagging look perfectly fine when I compare them with what is shown in Bill Henderson's CD. However, I really don't trust my own eyes to pass reliable judgment when it comes to the subtle complexities of lettering. What do knowledgeable forum members think? Thanks in advance!

PS I have a much larger file of this shot if anyone wants to PM me.

Jersey front and photo seem to match up pretty well. On Yaz Bosox road jerseys of this style, you have to watch out for the 1983 versions, as they were among the selection of tagged Wilson 1983 sample jerseys that have crept into the hobby.
