Shaw played Brillhart mouthpieces for most of his career and collaborated with Brillhart. This doesn't look like any Brillhart mouthpiece I've ever seen, but Shaw might have just put another mouthpiece on the instrument when he donated it to the museum. Always obsessed with being and having the "best" of everything (the best band, the best ratings, the best marksman, the best looking wives, the best autobiography, etc), he could have decided that Chedeville was best and the one he wanted associated with his memory in a museum, even though he didn't play that brand.
Chedeville, and Chedeville/Alelandais, in their long history, used several different varieties of scrolling, but the oval pattern of this one isn't familiar to me. Then again, there were many mouthpieces that had Chedeville-like scrolling at the bottom. Martin Freres was one.
