short trim spears?

I don't know that I really care - my car is a driver and far from 100% original, but anyone got any idea why I appear to have shorter trim spears than any other Barracuda photos I can find for reference? Is this deliberate? A "mod?" Or possibly even the wrong part?

Just trying to see if anyone has any knowledge on this...
