The Watch update

Who is who, here? I'm confused. 
From left to right, as far as I can make out: Angua (?), Cheery (?), lady in green with two axes (is that Carrot?!?), Vimes, Detritus, and ... someone with a crossbow. Carrot? Carcer?
Whatever this is, it certainly doesn't look like Discworld. Hopefully it sounds like Discworld, at least.

Huh. Carrot with a crossbow? I thought axes were the traditional dwarf weapon. (He double-wields axes at least once - in G!G!, when he charges the palace guards).
Lady Sybil with two axes? What the ... heck? And one of them is a double-bladed axe, the heavy kind -- the kind you need two hands just to lift.
And where's Cheery's armour/helmet/beard?
OK, obviously this isn't Discworld. Hopefully it doesn't market itself as Discworld, because if it does ... we're done here.

Just found this.

That's the problem though, pip. It bills itself as "The Ankh-Morpork Watch" from Terry Pratchett's Discworld.
I agree it won't fool anyone who's read any of Terry's Watch books, but anyone who hasn't ... will be fooled. And that's a problem. How do we fans tell them (gently) that they're being sold a massive fib?
