Official difference between the G-10 and K-4 windscreen??

Differences between the G-10 and K-4 Windscreen...

Okay G-10 WNr. 610937 has the very late style K-4 Frontage as seen in the photo below. It looks like a conversion from the G style, as you can see all the welding look like it was done in the field.

On the G, normally this entire aluminum structure was made from one piece of aluminum as seen in the second photo.









I cannot seem to find many pics of the G-10 with the upper cowling removed to reveal this area of the windscreen.

My question is...as the G-10's were older G's converted to K standard, would this upgrade have been done quite regularly?

Reason why I ask is I am repairing the G screen in the second photo to G-10 standard, and wondering if it would be more correct to keep it as the older G style, or upgraded K like in the first pic.

I am building a cockpit section to replicate the G-10 W.Nr. 611943 at Planes of Fame, and have no photos of that area (they also do not reply to emails).

Does anyone have any info they can help with?
