The "Bethesda artwork" that's a commonly used TV test pattern, in the public domain, designed in the 30s?

That one specifically is just a Photoshop'd Fallout "Please Stand By" test card:

EFF 'version': https://www.eff.org/files/2017/08/01/no-downtime-1.jpg

Those look like their both from the same test card pattern, but not the same image of that test card. The paper grain/noise looks different between the two.
