Are these the “new” XL bands?

I haven’t seen a photo of what exactly was changed on the XL hinge and band assembly.
The photos I was able to find were for the L, not the XL. I noticed the arm to the left of the spring is curved on the L version.
I just got this today and it definitely has some minor changes from my old one:

Does it have the clips in the front to help stop the Dome from slipping out of the band?
Thank you,DarianGalveston Texas -
Yep.
The changes to the xl bands were at least 4-5+ yrs ago and all the really did was powder coat the hinges. My XL is over ten years and they're nearly identical to those. -

- added retainer clips on the lid
- where the spring attaches to the arm, it is no longer a bolted on piece, it is all one piece.
- where the spring attaches in the back, the hole is a slot rather than a hole.
- the part of the spring assembly that bolts onto the top ring is a slot instead of a hole. -

I heard from a local dealer the XL might be getting an air hinge like KJ soon, but there was some issue with the patent that delayed it. Anyone know the latest?Milton, GA
