Hanging "R" font w crosses, SoCal USA

shaun1021

Can anyone ID this font used to mimic the crossed “RX” on the pharmacy logo seen everywhere? it has hanging R’s with crosses to mimic the “RX” used in some medical establishments in SoCal - I know the cross across the R is hard to see in this image but it’s there. Anybody know? thanks!

Looks like a squooshed Palatino with a custom R.
