Windscreen Band

Does anyone know for sure whether the banding on the outer edge of the screen at the top should go straight across or if there is a piece that juts out from it for the rear view mirror base to attach to? I have been told that Lotus supply the straight across version. I have looked at several Elan pictures and they show the straight across version however my existing screen has the jutting out version. Any info most welcome.
Silver 1992 SE Turbo.

Hi Paza1
It seems to be a bit random. My S2 goes straight across but the car built before mine has the black going over the mirror
as far as I know both cars have the original screen.
One of life's little mysteries I guess.
it's a bit off topic but if anyone can tell me why the drivers door latch has 3 spacers and the passenger side only has one I'll sleep better at night

I think the screen band was subject of a Service Bulletin. No time to check now though.

Sy, what a memory 
You are absolutely correct. Bulletin 1994/09 refers. Straight across band is the standard supplied by Lotus now. The jutting out bit should be constructed according to the Bulletin instructions. Thanks to everyone for the info. What a gold mine this site is
