Yep, those look like T1020 sample images  :-DD

Also I wonder what the quality of the MSX on this is. Since it's using a relatively high end 13 megapixel smartphone camera for the MSX instead of the usual FLIR crappy 640x480 camera, I expect this to deliver relatively sharp MSX outlines, especially combined with the LED flash.
