Can confirm that the case does not look like that in the Egyptian Museum. There's a walk-through of the museum (as it existed several years ago; this photo was taken before the new museum opened) you can see here: [www.youtube.com]

lt appears to be in the Luxor museum (https://www.alamy.com/editorial-luxor-egypt-october-16-2018-side-view-of-tutankhamun-as-sphinx-in-the-luxor-museum-image256028858.html)

This is another Luxor museum sphinx identified as Tutankhamun: [www.reddit.com]

That museum also has a Thutmoses sphinx identified as being from a "cache" - so it MAY be Tutankhamun but may not be from his tomb but rather from a different area.
