The illusion DOES apply to mine. 
If you look at this face plate at different angles it changes the whole look! Trust me, I modelled this thing in 3D before starting a build.
Because the face is curved AND slopes outward the angles change a whole lot just by altering your viewing angle slightly.
Look at these earlier pics of mine all taken from different angles. Please not, my visor and the cheek lines have not been altered at all during the build so what you see in this compliation is how the visor cutout still looks today.
I've highlighted how the lines can appear curved in one pic yet curved in another.
Look at the 3D wireframe pic. Straight lines from the front view, yet curved from the side.
Viewing angle and perspective distortion play a big part in how this faceplate looks. They are straight lines but wrapped around a curved object.
I apprecite the help and I'm not offended by you asking or sharing your thoughts. It's just that since starting the build and 3D model I've come to understand the Snow Clone lid quite well.

There are slight curves in the "T" on the visor. Gently sloping down towards the center. I even felt a little silly after the realisation because I was trying to prove the lines were straight but I just proved myself wrong. LOL!
