Yes Mark, you're right. Lee Berg pointed that out to me as well. I originally just quickly looked at one lever, assumed the other would be identical, then left the auction. Poor picture quality makes positive ID a little too difficult on authenticity of it being a stock SR. Thanks for the heads-up guys.

Marc, if you look again I think you'll agree the two levers in the auction are not a matched pair. I think one is a long-reach, but there's no denying that it has that telltale feature of the long-reach levers where the logo is nearer to the top of the lever. The reach itself is harder to tell in the photos but I'm pretty sure it's long. The very bottom looks a little pointier too when viewed from the side, as we've seen on old-shape levers.
