It's really not that unusual. Companies try very hard to get "pre-production" products to their advertising agencies before the actual product goes into production and finally shipment to the dealerships. If they waited, all of the printed catalogs and advertising would be a year late each year. It's common to be able to pick out errors if you really study the photos.
I worked for a motorcycle distributor, and we had a "brand new" model up on a revolving display stand at the annual Long Beach Motorcycle Show. The moving stand kept the public from getting up and close to it. We were told to keep people away from close contact because parts of it were carved out of wood and painted to look like metal and plastic. The "model" bike was flown in for consumer catalog photo shoots and to make the first couple of shows before the real bikes arrived.
