They have not. From 2017 to this new pump, yes, but not after.

Trust me, we got every detail of every revision prior to 2020, if they're still fiddling with it, we'd have heard about it.

Sure, just open the cam chest up, remove the cam chain, tensioner, and sprockets, and then the cam plate, then take a look at your pump body and compare it to the picture I posted previously showing the old and new pumps.
