Derived from Sears Pong paddle?

I have yet to find a clear photo of the Spectrum Paddle. But given the strong resemblance it has to the Sears Pong paddle in both the low-quality photo from the TCCM and in the line drawings used in Spectrum's ads in the magazines, it seems possible that each Spectrum Paddle was actually a Sears Paddle modified by Spectrum if not Rosen personally. Or at the very least, manufactured by basically copying the Sears Paddle.

Possible / probable inspiration or basis for Spectrum Paddle
Sears Pong Paddle
