[meteorite-list] Is it just me, or does this Australian meteorite look like NWA?

The only two photos of Pigick in the database strongly resemble a NWA stone. The desert varnish appears to resemble typical NWA varnish and there are some captive sand grains in the weathering cracks - also resembling typical NWA. The bulletin write-up for Pigick says the fragments were discovered in a "wheat paddock" - are captive sand grains consistent with a "wheat paddock" ? Could this be a possible case of a transported NWA, or are looks deceiving me?
