[Elecraft] KPA100 Shields

I've received two very helpful hints to help me determine which is the old
KPA100 shield and which came with the Shield Upgrade Kit:

    "The new shield should have holes in it to accept the three added
grounding clips."
and
    "Hold the two up together - the one that is larger on several edges is
the 'new and inproved' shield - discard the smaller one."
(Thanks Tom and Don)

However, aside from the "pattern" on the shields (the crystallization
pattern of the galvanization? - on one it is much finer than the other), the
size of the shields and number and placement of holes is _exactly_ the same.

Any other ideas?  Perhaps they are both 'new and improved'.
