You are most definitely correct! I uploaded two different individuals by mistake, as I have similar pictures of a few specimens. Thanks for the comment- will remove one of the pictures :)

Both are Attacus atlas as you noted, just for info, there are not the same individual and you may notice the different between Rothschildia and Attacus, beside the different location: If you look at the forewings you see the large "bow" of the tip of the forewing, which is typical for Attacus but are not found in this kind in Rothschildia.
