Thanks for posting the picture from straight above. It still looks like a series of Turks Heads. It might be that the one visible in the center is rotated so you are looking at the side of the knot. It could be most anything, and it might have a core to help it hold shape. The next one appears to have 6 bights, so could be a 5L x 6B, the outer one appears to have 5 bights, and may be either a 3L or 4L x 5B Turks Head, maybe even a 6L x 5B Turks Head.
I always have rejects of knots that might be lopsided, or just don't look right. I don't ever want to throw them out, but I never use them, so they end up in a box of half finished work (it's a big box). If you can contact A.C. Beaudoin heirs, they might have some of his "rejects", and you might find a few more examples of this knot.
