No, none of the other 4 RPM's have that die crack position.

I'm with WS on the crack but your MM appears to be to far south also... To me yours looks like some die damage to the south and the MM itself has circ wear/PSD???

I am thinking it is worth taking a look at RPM-5 (http://www.varietyvista.com/02a%20LC%20RPMs%20Vol%201/1911DRPM005.htm)and comparing it to that even though CC (http://coppercoins.com/lincoln/diestate.php?date=1911&die_id=1911d1om001&die_state=mds) states that OMM and RPM5 are one in the same.
The crack on your coin somewhat lines up with CCs reverse crack pic.
Can you get an extreme close-up of the base of the MM?

I cannot see enough detail in your MM pics, but if I were you I would hang on to this coin and check it under a powerful magnifying glass or a scope. Your MM looks to be right on target for RPM-5. The reverse die is changed in stage D where the crack is a bit lower than in earlier die states.
The fact that the reverse die crack is in nearly the same location [for stage D vs. stages A-C] is missed by many.
The extra upper you have on the inside of the MM is intriguing though it may just be PSD. An RPM that noticeable would surely have been identified by now.
Took another look at RPM-5 stage D (http://www.varietyvista.com/02a%20LC%20RPMs%20Vol%201/1911DRPM005.htm) and I believe you have it! :) Unfortunately, the initial punch to the south seems to be worn away.
Take a look, that extra upper inside the MM which is quite visible on yours is just barely visible in the stage D pic, but more importantly you have the die cracks just in front of the vest.

I believe T nailed it... Good call!!!
Added - I moved this thread to Variety Attributions - RPM... I updated the header info with VV, CC and Wexlers numbers even tho VV has this as a RPM and not OMM!!!
