RGS collectors are pressed steel items with a seam around the two halves. 
Hi Rob,
Yes I know I'm not posting pictures of original collectors...it's so long ago that I was up-to-date on triples I can't remember the make of these stainless replica's - probably Keihan. I've a few of these knocking about including one made by Malcolm Cox - I think the Cox collector is for my RGA but can't be sure.
Your genuine item tho' does suggest to me that I've identified which is which as your collector outlet pipes are less angled upwards as per my left hand collector (think I got my left and right mixed up in the first post).
Sadly the item I think is for a Jota came with two jubilee clips holding in one pipe...when the clips were removed it seems I used them to hide a hole but whether on a 180 or 120 I don't know. What's such a surprise is that I would have bodged something like this. I was always known for turning out such tidy bikes.

My RGS came standard with what is referred to as a Jota collector, as shown in Nick's photographs.
Not sure what the pros and cons are between the two types.
