There's an interesting comparison between the old image in post #55 and the version for Albert VI in post #58. And the second source helps to interpret the first representation.
In the first quarter, five gold eagles on blue is Lower Austria. The Wappenbuch version is okay.
In the second quarter, Upper Austria has two parts. An eagle and some red and white vertical stripes. But the colors of the eagle and the background, black and gold, are reversed.
The third quarter is the Duchy of Styria. It is a silver lion rampant of green in the modern version, but it looks more like a griffin in the Wappenbuch and it is flipped to face the center.
The fourth quarter, Carinthia, also as two parts. the first part has two or three black lions/leopards/panthers on gold. And red with a fess argent is the Duchy of Austria.
So what's up with the discrepancies? Not that it matters in this example. However, heraldry is supposed to be consistent. This has some problems. If an investigation demands a high degree of visual similarity to substantiate identification, then discrepancies like these may constitute a technical disqualification for some researchers. If such variations occur where there is no intention of disguise, just think what a little intentional trickery could do.
