Sure, send some pics to further enhance the proof! But you also know that some opponents will never accept all the proof laid out either.....
I totally agree with your sentiment. I like to use the preponderance of visual evidence approach. As mentioned I searched through google images looking at CSL examples. I equate the variation to lack of attention to detail, not factory inconsistencies.
The second generation CSL brochure is still dealing with very early carbed CSL’s. They have parts like the steering wheel and map light (note with a black push button) that didn’t make their way onto most or all injected CSL’s. I know this is all old news to you
@Keshav, I’m addressing the topic not your particular response.
Some interesting variation shown here, although there is nothing to indicate that this variation is factory introduced either.

Also per
@Gerrit
“There were 2 types of 100 seat frames, normal and wide, the wide having one inch more of „Elbow room“ and lower bolsters, mostly found on RHD CSLs.”
Most of the variation I have noted so far is on the lower bolster length, the lower foam length, the seam, and the shape of the shoulder. I know of three Scheels for sale at the moment but I didn’t pull the trigger because none of them matched each other. It is a common problem that I keep encountering over and over.
