Is my antique M.S.L.C. floor lamp designed by Gilbert Rohde?

Yesterday, I found this unique antique brass lamp at an estate sale. It's very heavy! I thought it had some very unique design elements to it. I've never really seen one like it. It is stamped M.S.L.C. on the bottom which stands for Mutual Sunset Lamp Company. This company was based out of Brooklyn NY. I've learned that the famous furniture and industrial designer, Gilbert Rohde, designed lamps for M.S.L.C. I haven't been able to find very many of his lamp designs that he did for M.S.L.C. but the ones that I have found, seem to carry some similar characteristics to this one. I was hoping someone here is more familiar with this designer or lamp company, that could help me determining if it's a Gilbert Rohde designed lamp. Or maybe someone knows of an expert in this field? I do think it's beautiful regardless of whether Rohde designed it or not. Thanks for your input in advance!! The last photo is a confirmed Gilbert Rohde designed S.M.L.C. lamp.
