Subject:camshaft bearing shell - WTF?

Ok. so I was installing my camshaft bearings (2.1 WBX) and both flanged
shell halves have an index tab on them, but only one of the case halves has
a cutout
for the tab. This is a Mahle cam bearing set #111 198 541 HD - ref # 057
54004 057. What's the deal? Some photos on the internet show both shell
halves with the tab as well.
Am I missing something here?

Thanks, Tom
