How OEM is this bracket?

[deltarider]

I consider ordering this exhaust bracket from CMSNL: https://www.cmsnl.com/honda-cb500k1-four-european-direct-sales_model14661/brkt-bl-muffler_18430323040/#.XiQImCPvK_g Looking at the number, you'd say it must be original, but the picture shows a bracket that is a bit unlike the OEM I have. The one in the pic is a bit round where my old OEM one is slightly more edgy. Now I'm confident the bracket in the pic will be compatible with the newly reproduced CB500 mufflers, but will it also fit my old OEM exhaust? More in general what is the policy in denoting original parts numbers with aftermarket parts at DS and CMSNL?

DS always puts a P at the end to denote pattern parts, dont know about cms. They fit both original and pattern exhaust but are not 100% correct if pattern.
On the UK site someone has gone to the trouble of measuring genuine and pattern and posted the slight differences.

Brackets for my 550 K1 (usa) looks indeed differently too.
According to what how I know cmsnl parts labeling and description, this should be true oem.
I think explanation can be 18430323040  were very first version, superseded by 18430323050 (look attached screen). When I click on link there is no photo available...
I suspect when you order it you will autmatically get 18430323050 that will be exacly one you have.

But to be sure contact cmsnl, they will confirm

Thanks Erny and Bryan. I'll try to tweak the original bracket that's on it now, first.
