Default Baffles

I bought some used V&H longshots, very happy but was getting some baffle rattle. So I decided to replace the baffles, Went with the standard baffle not quiet baffles..
Anyway The small ones pictured are what I removed, The shiny ones are the V&H replacements.
What am I not seeing?
Are the ones I removed wrong?

damit, I deleted the pic's from photobucket and they removed them from here. The new baffles are in so I can't do a side by side.
Sorry guys, I really wanted and answer.

I don't have a true answer, but this pic shows the Bassani Road Rage quiet baffle and the performance baffle. The quiet one is the longer one.

Thanx Alan. I don't think the small ones were V&H, As they bolted on with a nut and bolt. the new ones had a welded nut in the baffle and a stainless bolt.
Also no wrap. The V&H quiet baffles were long and wrapped.

From what I see in the picture, I would completely agree. You should be happy with the real quality V&H baffles.
