If you look at the tail stripe of the second clown you'll see that it doesn't meet at the bottom, dpending on the size of the clown, this may close or may not, this one is minor and I wouldn't have a problem keeping it, as I noted in the other post, misbarring is common in TR clowns and is not a sign there is anything wrong with the clown, some people like it, cause it makes them feel their clown is not the average run of the mill clown, I prefer mine to have all their stripes intact as a general rule.
