timing gear covers, 2 revisions????

as im flowing down feces creek with no paddle,
battling a water leak, that I have been struggling to cure....


I ran across 2 different types of front timing gear covers.


one is completely flat.


the other has extra stamping in the plate that I thought was a flaw, but now appears to be a factory revision.

the cover with the white background is a item I found on e-bay as a OEM part.


the others are the covers ive tried to install and failed.


can anyone shed some light on this?


maybe a revision date?
why the revision was done, etc?

I was freaking out. I'm in the midst of a build and I didn't recognize the piece.
