Topic: HDSPe AES PCIe card: which picture is the correct one?

Hello, something is puzzling me:

Looking at the websites selling the HDSPe AES card, I see the picture below:

Instead, on the official RME website, I see this picture, with a clearly different layout of the circuit (not minor differences...)

Which one is the right one?

Thank you smile

And B&H has a black one on their website which I can't seem to find on the RME website so I'm not sure it's new, old, or what the deal is:

Current cards have the chrome plate, and the first rendering you posted looks more like the real card.

The current one is pic 2 (from the RME website), it uses a different FPGA than older ones.
