The Mandarin is a fan of Captain America?

Following the release of The First official Iron Man 3 trailer, we got an image of the movies villain, The Mandarin (played by Ben Kingsley) during the trailer featuring him taking off his hood, but if you look closely, you will find him with a Captain America's shield tattoo!

This tattoo has the same sort of design as 'The Man lost in time's' shield except for the middle, where instead of a star, there seems to be an 'A'.

Could this be the terrorists logo, or could this be some sort of easter egg. Captain America's shield was in fact an easter egg in Iron Man 2, so could this just be the same.
