Default Different Kind of Overrider?

This photo is a baffler, looks like these overriders are a little different from the standard versions and have a chiseled slim look to them. Is what I see an optical illusion or did someone actually make this slimmer version? Maybe it's an overrider from another non-cobra classic roadster?

Look close and you can see the normal overrider in the shadows. What you see is the shape of the photographers light source. Chrome looks black if you don't light it. I have spent hours lighting chrome for a shot with shiny cards and reflectors to put a highlight just where you want it to show shape and form in chrome and brass.

Good eye, the left one is easier to see what you're talking about. I actually like the look of the reflective part as an overrider all by itself, I'm not too concerned about accurate replication and looking for something a little different.

Has anyone used this Stainless Overrider with the welded sealed back?
If so, how did it work out and what was your impression of the quality?
(This would be a setup without the nudge bars)

Their description is a bit hard to decipher, but I would not use a fully enclosed SS rider. SS has a tendency to gall the threads at times especially if you are using a SS bolt and the nut is SS. It would be really hard to remove if the thread gets half way in and decides to lock up on you.

I have SS versions that are open in the back. I got them from here:

Here is a 2nd source for the welded sealed back type, from I can see the quality appears to be there. I wouldn't use stainless into stainless, even if you're not cross-threaded, the binding can be extreme (even thread lube doesn't guarantee a smooth run in). I would probably use a 7075 bolt if I were to give it a go. Maybe someone here has 1st hand experience with them, curious what they think.
