The Lady or the Tiger

There's this old story in which a judge determines guilt by offering the accused a choice of doors.   Behind one is the most beautiful woman in the world, who will be his bride if opens her door.  Behind the other is a tiger who will devour him should he be unfortunate enough to open his.  The problem is that the accused doesn't know which door is which.  Alas, if he only knew how to use deductive and inductive reasoning.  Let's try a slightly different variation.
 

If you'd like a little inspiration,  GO AHEAD AND READ THE ORIGINAL STORY

In our variation, there are three doors.  The first two are just like in the story.  Behind one the judge has placed a beautiful lady.  Behind a second a tiger.  But behind a third door, are both the beautiful woman's equally beautiful twin sister and the ferocious tiger's equally ferocious twin brother.  Needless to say, twin brother has been having a little snack while he waits ever hopeful that you will open their shared door, so the odds are stacking up against you (the accused).

In addition, each door has a curtain in front of it.  On each curtain is a name plate describing who was inside last time.
 
 

Of course, the judge doesn't want to make it easy for you so he has changed who is behind each marked name plate.
Also the judge has taken an article from behind each door and placed it in front (but behind the curtain).  In front of the door containing just the beautiful lady, he has placed one of her golden earrings.  In front of the door containing the tiger, he has left one tiger claw (procured at great expense).  Behind the door containing both a lady and a tiger, he has left either an earring or a claw but hasn't said which.   Now he is giving you the opportunity to peek behind one curtain.  After you peek, he'll have all earrings and claws removed and you'll have to open a door.  Which curtain will you peek behind?  The one marked "The Lady"? The one marked "The Tiger"? or the one marked "The Lady and the Tiger?"  And then, which door will you open?
