That is a very pretty plug, but it is not likely to swim the same as a Pichney Danny. Note how high the line tie is, which explains why the lip is bent so vertically (otherwise the plug will dive). The tail is also thick (and therefore bouyant). I suspect it will roll more than a small danny at all but the slowest retrieve speeds (maybe the reason for the subtle coloring?). Then again, at slow speeds it probably will start swimming before a danny would. I don't own many Tattoo plugs, but his reputation is top notch so I suspect this plug will fish very well inspite of (and possibly because of) the differences.

The lip also looks like a thicker gauge metal.
