Just a very tiny difference here, the end of the wrap-round rear bumper is different on the door side. The bottom model is code 8 and the top is code 11, the last code. I'm not sure if this is a variation but it looks rather deliberate.

Hello Johnboy.

I would normally have said that you are experiencing the result of two sets of moulds being used to cast the main body component, because it looks as if the ridge along the top of the arch (highlighted in green), is thicker, but I notice the casting faults (highlighted in yellow), are on both bodies, so both models have come from the same moulds.

It is obvious the moulds have some play, because the one for casting the extreme rear section is out of alignment with the body and I reckon you are showing us some bad ware in the mould, making the rear section of the bumper appear different between the two models and this indicates this model is the later version of the two.

Ghosty.
