It's only that one like that - if you look to the far right the one next to it has the curved rear vinyl as normal. Wouldn't surprise me if it has been done intentionally as a trial to see how it looks. Either that or it has had a panel replacement at an early stage and the curved section hasn't been replaced.
Not sure I would agree on the specs being *completely* different though. All three batches are still largely similar barring the bike racks and the internal light colour - I would expect the odd tweak here and there.
That said, not sure why the tables are different between mini-batches of this year's intake. A development issue meaning they weren't ready in time for the Consett vehicles perhaps? It's certainly not a style I've seen before, though I can't say I've been looking.
