X1C - Updated printer base plate ? (taller feets)

Hi,
I have bought 2 Babmulab X1 Carbon Combo printers form the EU store (first one on 14.January.2023, second one received today).
I have noticed that the newer one has a different base plate (the rubber feet are defenietly higher than in my older model).
See photos below:

Its not a problem at all (but looks a little bit weird when two of them are standing next to each other). It looks like they have redesigned the injection mold for this part.

This is another indicator on how to tell which “Generation” of printer it is…to whit I need to resurrect my thread asking how to identify different generations. That will start to help some people identify problems and fixes.

All companies that produce a product, will make minor changes to the design every time a new batch gets manufactured, kind of like cars. A Ford Focus will look the same for 3 or 4 years, then a body change, engine change, or interior change will happen, then it is the “Next Generation”. Except in this case, it is every batch of 1000 (wild guess) printers then a minor change.

Can you measure the difference in height between the two? Would like to know so I can accommodate both versions in my designs…
