1931 Hood latch Original or?

Like to know which one is original?



Hood latch # 1 if installed correctly will show the barrel seam



Hood latch # 2 will not show the seam if installed correctly.



JS states that they have to be installed so that the stop is pointing towards the engine and latch will rest on fender.

Thanks

Look at the shape of the hook (or lack there of). The cheap junk is a dead giveaway.
