Any of the available kits the original version, or are they all updated?

The one from Miniart claims to be an "early"
while Takoms seems to be a late/later.

Review of Miniarts interior kit (the exterior only should be similar concerning the exterior parts)

Seems as if it can be built as an earlyor slightly later version. Both starfish and spider wheels are included.

The OPVT fording system seems to be a divider between early and late.
