That is actually a very unique scale formation. It IS a "bowtie", but the way the scale in front of the bowtie is split, makes it even more unusual. Here is a typical bowtie nose form the care sheet :

I don't think anyone can tell you for sure. The caresheet states that they occur in about 1/200, but I'm pretty sure this has not been scientifically established. Every once in awhile there is a thread posted asking if anyone has a bowtie, and usually at least one new one is discovered.

It's odd how some of their noses turn out with weird scales like that. I have one with the bowtie and one with the quad nose thing, I'm not sure how common they are but they aren't unheard of.
