Oh, I nearly forgot, it may also be the case that the cabinet widths are also different. I say this because if I fit a 7 inch reel on mine, the rim of it stays inside the confines of my cabinet. One of your photos looks as if your reel overhangs the cabinet sides a bit. Of course I'm guessing as to what size reel you have on there, so I could be wrong. The extremities of my cabinet width measures 405mm.

I wonder if that's why people talk about a MK1 and a MK2?
