Peerless Tweeter with 90 degree solder runs?

Has anyone ever seen any tweeters that look like they're Peerless only with 90 degree solder runs instead of 45 degrees? I swear when I look at some of these speakers that are known for occasionally utilizing Peerless tweeters I sometimes see a tweeter and think I know those solder runs are going straight out but it sure looks like the peerless style. Besides peerless I have not seen runs like that.

Not exact but pretty similar, right?

The only ones I've seen that look like the one on the left are the Polk SL2000 (which is what I think that one is). As I understand it, when Polk stopped using Peerless tweets, the replaced them with the SL1000 (which look like the one on the right), followed by the SL2000 and SL3000. I've seen SL1000 tweeters with and without the Polk brand name stamped into the faceplate.

I am FAR from an expert on Polk and Peerless drivers. Many members know MUCH more than me on this topic; hopefully one/some of them will correct me if I'm wrong.
 
Thanks everyone. The style of those solder runs on the 2000 just reminded me of the peerless. I'll just keep an eye out for the real peerless from here on out.
 
When I buy an old Polk Audio monitor, I only want peerless tweets and I wanted to make sure there was not another version out there.
