I'm putting together my first Leman Russ today, and as I built the turret, I found that there seems to be two types of turret ring, the standard IG vehicle hatch, and this other one. Anyone know what the deal is with this rounded hatch? I can't find any pictures or references to it in the instructiuons or online.

Also, I found that the Russ in Dawn of War uses this strange ring as well.

I'm pretty sure that was the original turret hatch before they created the new IG vechicle accessory sprue that added the new type of hatch, and they didn't bother getting rid of it off the sprue.

The vehicle accessory sprue is a newer version; the original one didn't include turret hatches. The round one is just the original one, which I prefer TBH.

I like the look of the round turret as well. Seems more realistic.
