If you're talking about eBay item #160538269691, I believe that's one
of those that were on sale at Riv's garage sale.

The garage sale green tweed country bags have the dowel on the main
flap.  The "normal" ones (which I have a copy but it's not in tweed)
has the dowel slightly further inside the bag, and not on the main
flap.  In the second picture of the eBay auction, one can clearly see
that the dowel is on the flap and not hidden inside and behind the
secondary closure flaps with the bungee cord.

I don't think it's really just an aesthetic difference.  Having the
dowel on the main flap may introduce functional issues (minor or
otherwise) because the main attachment points of the bag are then
located on a moveable flap.  That means some extra stress is put on
the main flaps quick-release tabs.  OK, maybe it's not that bad since
the attachment points are really close to the pivot but it's certainly
not optimal.
