Works connection frame guards 1991 cr125

The frame number (JE0106MM) on my CR makes it an early (within the first 50) '91 bike.
I have just bought some new works connection frame guards for it, and they're marked on the packet as 90/91/92 CR125.

Thing is, the don't fit.
They're close, but not right.
On the left, the lower bolt into the chain roller is a few mm too far towards the footpeg. Also the guard doesn't follow the frame profile correctly.
On the right, there's a small intentional crease in the guard to follow the frame. If I straightened this, it'd be closer to being right.

Of course I don't want to have to modify new guards.
Is there a subtle difference in these years of bike, or have they accidentally packaged the wrong items??
Could these be for a 250?

I put some on my 1990/91 CR125 and had to drill the brake master cylinder bolt recess holes on the right side. It wasn't easy to fit and when it bolted up I gave it a couple of 'taps' with a rubber mallet.

I got a pair for my 90 and I had to do just a slight mod to the lower chain roller hole, otherwise good fit

They did go in, but required some tweaking to fit the frame snugly.
Not entirely enamoured with the alignment on the LHS, as the swingarm spindle hole isn't concentric with the spindle end.

Such is life, better than boot rubs up my frame.
