Any Manitou experts able to shed some light?

I'm sure the forks I bought new in 2000 were Manitou X-Vert E, and had the brace like this red one with the 4 indents, but looking online now all the X-Vert E forks have just 2 indents like the black one, and the only one with the 4 indents are X-Vert Supers. Mine were definitely not called Super and mine had the orange and red decals, also had black fork boots. Are they just really uncommon like I had, or is my memory failing and my forks actually had just 2 indents?

Those black Manitous, look just like my X-Vert E's from the late 90s, or early 2000s. Just did a search for them as going to restore mine.

Well they are X-Vert E's, yes, but I'd like to know about any versions with the crown like the red set.
