HI, Val,

It is highly unlikely that there is any one version of a sign that  will look
right to everyone. WHY?? because of sign variations. Even as hearing  people
have local dialects, Deaf people have local sign variations. In  mid-Missouri,
for example, there are two signs for BROWN. I haven't  searched your sign
puddle in full yet, but if you have several versions of the  same sign, it is
possible that each version is right. (because each version is  right for the area
it came from).
On the website        theinterpretersfriend.com              in the section
that shows indigenous signs for different countries, there are  three signs for
Ethiopia.
Hope this helps,
                                     Jerry
