the other official imaged of the arrow-use is the first one close to a letter-box in the image below.
I see 3 arrows, and only ONE of them has any fletchings. None of them appear to have a broadhead. The one at the letter box is very interesting - the attacker must have been an Olympic level archer, OR very lucky, OR it's a staged image - he apparently managed to hit a crack in the clapboards so that the arrow could stick in, and he did that with NO fletchings on the arrow to guide it aright into the crack in the clapboards.
ETA: It's possible that the second arrow in the two arrow image does have fletches, but that they are obscured by the leaves in the grass. The point, on the right end of the arrow laying on the macadam surface, is clearly a field point, not a broadhead. Same for the arrow at the letter box - there is no indication of blade entry into the wood, so no broadhead there, either.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
