I used to own one, traded her away a long time ago. Se did however have the beads toward the front.
Unfortunately I didn't record anything other than that I got her off ebay. But since I had not been collecting for very long it's most likely I bouht her from a seller somewhere in Europe, and if I had to guess I'd day from Germany since I bought most of my ponies there at that time.
Sorry I can't be more specific.
