If you mean the 1/2-canopy part itself, it's well-known,
if only from the 2002 Ep II Slave I (where they are in
both sand-green and dark blue). The middle canopy-part
is of course new, and in trans-black they'd also be new
new new new.
And while the idea of an "expandable canopy system" is
very, very neat, I noticed that the "middle" sections
still have partial sides (about a brick in depth). But
I like the rounded-slope system, because you could take
those together with the new bullet-train canopy and get
some very, very odd geometries.
