Tom, I think that may have depended on how the contract was written. Often in military contracts, allowances are made for manufacturing practices as long as the end product functions the same as, and is serviceable in the same way as the original. Case in point: I used to collect US shoulder weapons from WWI and the second part too. Part of the fun/the game was acquiring the same weapon made by different manufacturers because of all of the little differences in trigger guards, etc. Same way, I guess, with axle wings/fairings.

Just one more thing that makes studying Fokkers Fun!
