I have a '29 Whippet and the Whippet radiator mascot doesn't look like this at all. I've attached the original blueprint of which I've cast some copies for my car.

Just a cheap aftermarket accessory for fitment too any car, truck , motorcycle front mudguard. Nowhere the quality of the 1934 Ford Stant original greyhound. Regards, Kevin.

I wonder if it's "anatomically correct"?

I heard the early Ford ones were until Clara heard about it. (Probably an "old wives tale").
