This is indeed a cursive YHWNTN type, similar to the style of the drawing you posted.  Unfortunately I do not have GBC 5, but the the type is TJC Group R. My concordance indicates that this corresponds to GBC 4 no. 475 (as you found) and GBC 5 no. 1146.

As far as I can tell, the inscription reads as: YHWNT/N KHN G[D]/L WH....

Best regards!
