Close, but no Coconut?

Unfortunately, I can find no date on this post card. 
I got as close to the original angle as I could from memory.
Old Bowder/Balder appears to have grown "hair" since it was taken: not to mention a set of stairs, which my hirsute sibling reckons wouldn't get past Elfin Safety in a month of Sundays.
Our days of roaming free are drawing to a close. Not that we won't be out again, but maybe not four days at a time.
Today's specific task was to see how much had changed since the Postcard.
I didn't seem to have caught the "mouth" as well as the Mk l version.
Extra:-
From the other side it's nowhere like.

"One of Lakeland’s most famous features, this 2000 ton stone, some 30 feet high, fifty feet across and ninety feet in circumference, rests in a state of delicate balance. It did not topple down from the mountain side like most visitors assume, for it is not a local rock. It was most likely carried here from Scotland by the glaciers of the Ice Age. It possibly gets its name from Balder, son of the Norse God Odin, but there are no legends attached to this boulder."
 
It's changed a wee bit since the 1800s.
