Loan Car with Odd Trim

My car is currently in the dealers for repair after a breakdown and I have a very nice brand new Autobiography Sport as a loaner from LR Assist Very Happy But, I just noticed that all of the door insert panels are piano black with the "Autobiography Sport" logo embossed in silver except for the drivers door which is finished in Anigre Wood with no logo Confused All the other insert panels in the car are also Piano Black. I assume this is not normal? So, I wonder if it's a quality control issue or has someone actually done a sneaky swap! I've let the hire company know but they hadn't noticed it before.

Have heard of the door capping problem a few times, seems like the usual LR 'that'll do' build quality!
Also heard a story of someone ordering up a SC back in 2005 in Vesuvius , which I think was only available on the SC, but when delivered to the dealer it was found to have the 2.7 diesel engine in it!!

I had a damaged trim panel on delivery of my new RRS, the dealer swapped it with a panel on their new loaner car. He said this lets them fix the loaner at their own pace and they quite often "save" up the repairs until the loaner is scheduled for sale and then fix and valet all in one go. 2016 RRS 4.4 TDV8 Autobiography Dynamic in Montalcino Red and Stealth Kit
