83 SC Sunroof Questions

So Im in the middle of rebuilding my sunroof and I am most of the way through with new seals, a repaired cable, and cleaned up sunroof tracks and aluminum bits.

I was looking for replacement parts and I realized my unit matches 77 and earlier cars and not the 78-83 style shown in the PET. I should have this:



But actually have this:



Did a PO swap out my sunroof unit for some reason or did they come like this?




Not a huge deal as I now know what parts I need to order but yeah seems like an odd thing to do. Thanks in advance!

More details to help clarify what I am seeing. I was following this thread to help with the rebuild, and I noticed I dont have these wind deflector kickstands:





Also, I have the flat rectangular pieces shown in #47 of the 77 and earlier assembly:





77 and earlier assembly:



Any ideas whats going on here?

Probably another instance of the Porsche parts bin on the assembly line

Seems that way. Since posting this I have seen at least 2-3 other SCs with the same style sunroof assembly and the owners say they are original.
