Here goes again... :(

Ok, I don't know this anime. The picture is really 
small. So take this very conditionaly. I am not 
saying that it is or it isn't a real hanken. It's 
just something that I notice :

When doing a production cel, animators use a paper 
that has the size of the cel with lines that show 
which area exactly will be visible on the screen.
That's why you often see cels that are not fully 
painted even if there is the black lines.

When you do an hanken cel, you may more or less 
know for what produce it will be used and perhaps 
what will be the final layout. But even if they 
have an idee, it is subject to change. In fact, if 
you see a picure used on a CD cover and then see 
the same picture in an art-book, it probably won't 
be arranged in the same way. Differant parts may 
be visible or not. And so on...

For that reason, when you do an hanken, you can't 
really leave some parts unpainted, assuming that 
they will never have to be visible.

On the scan of the cel, the top of his hairs seems 
to have been cut off. Like if they didn't bothered 
to finish painting that little part.
I would say that they wouldn't do something like 
that with an hanken cel : Even if they know that 
there will be some text or other, on the final 
produce, hiding the top of his hairs, it's far 
easier to finish painting them than to have to 
redo the whole hanken later because there was 
changes in the design...

But then everything may happen so... It's 
absolutly not a statement from me. It's just one 
hint that it _may_ not be an hanken. Nothing more.
