You mean:

        Received: by MTA-NAME
        Other headers added by the MTA named above.

Versus:

        Other headers added by the MTA named below.
        Received: by MTA-NAME

Postfix already appends From/Date/Message-ID under its own Received:
header. Placing Postfix's PREPEND headers under its own Received:
header is not inconsistent with that.
