Exactly, fact is that the top decks, cell position, steering system, upper arm mounts, front and rear bulkheads and front shock tower mounting are all obviously different to the b44. The motor mount and motor/spur position looks the same but could be different. The suspension geometry is copied from the 511 (which copied the 501, which copied the bj4). Nothing about the 502 is a clone except the suspension which understandably has carried over the copying! Admittedly imperial diffs are suspect, has to be a copy!!
