Hello,

I believe a new variant might need its own catalog entry. The newer one has a
distinctly different shape but takes up the same footprint.

Seems the small end got longer to enable easy clip connection or hand attachment.
Recently some parts got this enhancement.

Brickset says the new part is in this set, so probably at some point someone
is going to find it there. I am attesting here for future reference that mine
has the old piece.
