As someone who has had the dubious pleasure of maintaining a piece like that, I
can tell you that it had gotten damaged. (Little curious fingers, pulling,
pushing, etc.) When something like that receives damage, someone has to repair
it. You use what you have on hand, and replace with appropriate pieces what is
too damaged to re-use. The more recent the repair, the newer the pieces look.

I hope that satisfies your curiosity.

Have Fun!
C-Ya!
