That ad says it is the last Rollei to leave the factory and is number 2953246. Maybe for some reason it stayed in the factory till the end, but it wasn't last made. I have seen a serial number as high as 2959244 listed on ebay, and my own is 2957029. I think they numbered that series in sequence as they were made.
The roller with the bottom side of the film gate is interchangeable even now with the new 2.8 FX and the gap is the same now except that a different paint is used that is a bit thicker and has more texture. If you are bugged by it or want to get rid of the reflection or bleed through the gap you might try carefully laying down a couple layers of black masking tape. Just enough to fill the gap but still not touch the film.

Another eBay auction worth browsing... great photos.I was interested in the photo showing the lower film transport roller and frame rails. Doesn't seem any different from my 2.8C (with the issues we've all discussed earlier).item number: 330244036737 E. --- Rollei List - Post to rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx- Subscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe'in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org- Unsubscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with'unsubscribe' in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org- Online, searchable archives are available at //www.freelists.org/archives/rollei_list
