3d printed LCD cover *and* Injection Molded covers being sent out with MK4-MK4s upgrades?

I just received my two MK4 -> MK4s upgrades.  They are for the two different types of LCD screens (one is for a "day 1" MK4, the other receioved later as part of a MK3S upgraded to MK4, which has the newer screen). 

It's pretty hard to tell which upgrade is the "old LCD" version by any writing on the boxes- but I guess I should assume it's the 3d printed part.

Strange though that I can't find anywhere that they are sending out 3d printed LCD frames for any MK4S, but it's possible I missed it.  Not an angry complaint or anything (I considered keeping my Prusament ultramarine blue lcd cover anyway 🙂 ) but interesting nonetheless.

Ahh, I see this is mentioned in the online installation manual - which I had no need to examine until I was ready to install the upgrades!

I got that yesterday too, all the old LCD screens are LCD B and not A and there are no new parts.... only textured MK4S and that's it...

So those who were early adopters of the MK4 (with lcd b) won't be receiving the new injection molded lcd cover in the mk4s upgrade kit, that seems pretty messed up.

It does seem a little strange that the part couldn't be made to fit both LCD types given the same dimensions and placement of the dial, etc.  Seems like only some screw holes and the placement of the copper cable would have to be dual-accounted for.
