here it is.
In the book they're actually called A. borelli (sic), something which I've found to be the case in a few older books. But the common name Axelrod uses is "The Cockatoo" ... since then the name got changed to A. cacatuoides.
here's a couple more pix of a male and a female out of the book

H. Axelrod, "breeding aquarium fish", 1967, TFH Publications

if compared to this more recent image of a wild cockie, I'd have to day you're absolutely correct.
