The story I heard was that when hoods were damaged and had to be replaced at the QAC (Quality Assurance Centers near the ports on both coasts of the US) that they used whatever hood was available at the time. So if your 3180 got a dent in the hood during shipping it likely would have gotten the later hood without the gas flap.
