There are those among us (Joe Alexander, for example) who belive that
the dip (or lack thereof) is due to there being more than one set of
tooling used to produce the body panels.
I've certainly seen a selection of the panels either way, though I
haven't tested for bondo on any of them.
Or perhaps it could be a pre- and post-TS60000 difference?
