Hello! Please help me to identify who is on the reverse, Agrippina or Poppaea?

At first glance I initially thought Poppaea but I am now convinced that it is Agrippina. There are good matches with some of the small details of Agrippina's hairstyle and also the year dating L :Greek_Gamma: while common on Agrippina's tetradrachms is one I personally haven't noticed on those of Poppaea.
