zayin - is anybody machshir?

Does anybody know of any machshirim - a zayin that the foot is connected to the edge [right or left] of the head?

The zayin has a tag added to its left, do we consider this tag an extension of the gag, so if measured together would be a full dalet. Or since it is seperate as a thin line from the gag of the zayin, it can not be a dalet? The difference is - if this is a kosher dalet then it is definitly pasul for a zayin! If this is not kosher for a dalet, then as a zayin it is a questionable shinuy tzura - which is dealt as a shaylas tinok. I think the latter position is true.

An old parsha - the zayins encircled, are pasul. [click to enlarge] Notice also the tavs right foot bent backward, we spoke about this in one of the earlier posts.
