Sad to say, those were the only shots in the only post ever made by that member (get this often in the Emergencies subject line).
The OP's pic reveals no clear evidence of pustules/wheals/well demarcated pox, the other turk clearly does.
Like you, I've never seen completely scabbed over heads due to sparring, but our three came pretty close (pine tar pretty much made observation of the healing process impossible). I wonder about the Wild Eastern's history prior to being found by the road (probably more than just Pox plaguing the poor guy).
Had the OP actually observed the sparring (and it would take a few hours of serious brouhaha to do that damage - and none of the others had a mark on them?), I'd think sparring accounted for the injury. The only other thing I can think of are the abrasions resulting from a stressed-out bird's pacing and butting chicken wire for hours on end.
That's what kept throwing me off was the solid scab on the back of the head.
