I agree with Jeff, that rear rivet just does not look right!
This is a model from the pre-spun rivets period so will be a press-down method and in doing so the paint loss around the outer edge of the top surface is very likely to show bare metal...this one does not, it has a full coating of paint!!

Any chance of a photograph (for posterity's sake)?

That definitely does not look right.
I have been given to understand that the 13d Wrecker came to the seller via an auction on FB. Is anything known of the source of the Zodiac?

What I don't like is the fact that there are no written descriptions - only 'look at the photos' type of thing. Caveat Emptor Maximus, I'd say (if I could speak Latin).
