Picked up a "genuine" Bay II (45 mm spacing) mirror lens cap off of eBay. Two details are different from what i usually see:
  1. The "Rollei F&H" mark appears on the top cup instead of the bottom.
  2. Instead of "MADE IN GERMANY" on the hinge, theres just "GERMANY" impressed on the back of the lower cup.
Has anyone owned an original with either of these features? Were there factory variations by production run/supplier? Or are these signs of a (Chinese) reproduction?

Any reference or photos of known original caps with this layout would be hugely appreciated. Thanks!
