This is one for the small variation collector, notice this small difference to the top of the engine.
No lines on the right hand model,also this area is slightly thinner making the top slightly shorter.
This engine is on my model without the tow slot.

Two different tooling sets used for that component, something we are seeing more and more as we all inspect our models.

Please use a web hosting site (like photobucket) to store pictures so you can post them here, using attachments makes it hard to view the pictures when you have to scroll to see them. Seeing comparisons of models is hard to see with attachments too.
