there is a seam that runs from the headlight towards the grille & one that runs straight down the front of the fender. I figured they do this to allow them to interchange the fenders from 47-53 & 54-55 (1st series).
I have the new fenders that Dynacorn produced, a very good friend bought them for me. The fenders look very good & seem to fit well.
Heres the link to the pics,
