Your tail has the "chicken wire" screen that is used on an actual Turbo. The Carrera M473 option uses the slotted plates and a very fine mesh screen mounted beneath the plates.
I bought an actual M473 tail just to get the slotted plates and fine screens. I installed them into my large size turbo tail to replace the Turbo "chicken wire" screens. I did it because here in Georgia the "pine straw" from the trees gets into everything. My engine compartment was constantly full of pine straw and twigs and such. Problem solved! I think the slotted plates also direct rain away from the center of the engine. Maybe not, don't know. LOL
