Default Differences in the design of the Smooth Bellows

I recently sold my SLP Smooth Bellows through this site. The version I had was the first version released by SLP. SLP later made a design change to the bellows. The person (chrs1313) who purchased the bellows from me now believes that I sold him a cheap knock-off. Due to the fact that it does not match the photos on the SLP site.

Could I get some help here....maybe post a pic of your bellows? Here's the pic of the one I had.....

Version #1:


Version #2:

There were definitely two designs from SLP...the original straight one with the single hump and the second generation which is angled...here is an older pic of my car with the original design SLP bellows:
