Are there 2 sizes of the switchback system?

I notice in pictures some switchback openings appear to be larger than what I have and all I have seen...
And the Baja owner who installed the 10-disc cd changer in their ride, the pic appears to have a larger opening.

STX had the Full folding midgate. There was a switch up front to roll down the rear window into the midgate then the midgate folded down. THis howver made the structure weaker (it is afterall a wagon with the roof cut off) so the production version only got the switchback that we now know.
