OK - interesting. I hadn't noticed that - and I don't have a DX to check myself. I can't tell from your photos if it's an optical illusion or not.

I do have a 29-5 (non-DX) and I will try and photograph the topstrap later this week. Here's an older photo - you can see the raised edge of the rear sight and it's not clear how much longer it could be...
