The original headlight trim rings created a step between the trim ring and the body. There is another trim ring that was made by Lucas that had more of a radius than the original parts flat side that was available on Minis and other English vehicles. Esthetically the Mini part looks much better on the Cobra in my opinion but it is not correct for the application. I am not sure why AC chose one over the other but that's the way it goes. Both model headlight trim rigs had the plated rivet, some reproduction trim rings simulate the rivet with a formed dimple.
