General
The next Beach “doppelgänger” tray—meaning a tray with a near twin with which it frequently gets confused, are fruit still lives. 
There are two HD Beach trays peaches and grapes on a plate on a table.  Similarly, to No. 8, one has the vine and leaf rim and the other has the autumn leaf rim with vignette windows on it.  Interestingly the “doppelgänger tray also has that same different feel to the lithography—flatter and less realistic.  Some other differences:  No. 9 has a large bunch of white grapes on the left, 6 peaches on the center right and a small bunch of black grapes on the right, all sitting on an ecru tablecloth.  The doppelgänger has a smaller bunch of white grapes, 7 peaches on the center left, and a larger bunch of black grapes on the right, sitting on a green tablecloth with a knife near the front of the image.  We did not notice this different for some time and there *may* be some doppelgängers mixed in here.  Like No. 8, this one was more common among non-brewers.
