Interesting observation,I did not notice that while in the inspection phase, before purchase.
While in the disassemble phase I noticed that both beams were identical. I attributed that to simpler/cheaper for the manufacturer, they could buy lengths of only one extrusion & cut them into sections. I thought perhaps the front beam was stronger, to hold the mast loads + tramp, while the rear might be a thicker wall to accept the traveller screws. They are identical beams.
I believe they came from the factory this. A very close examination after removing them showed two faint lines on only a portion of each end, corresponding to the location of the straps. I think it unlikely that changing them would have resulted in replacing the straps on the exact same position, I should see two sets of markings.
Do you have any info, pictures on what a truly original rear beam for a 5.7 looks like? To your knowledge what is the difference?
