Wrong Instrument Panel for the CH-47F

After seeing a CH-47F cockpit video, I realized that the instrument panel we have in the DCS CH-47F is incorrectly modeled.

The real CH-47F's instrument panel has a curve on it, and is also longer. 

Here's a picture of the DCS CH-47F vs a real-life CH-47F:

I believe this is because the Chinook that was originally announced was the ICH-47F, the Italian Chinook based off of the Foxtrot, but with more radios and equipment that's dedicated more towards SAR/CSAR.

Also, the air vent control lever on the outboard side has nothing to do with whether it's curved or not. 
Here's a picture of a CH-47F without the air vent control lever, which you can tell is the exact same:
(Kind of hard to see, sorry)

If more pictures are necessary, I can provide.🙂

I'm pretty sure that's a side-effect of whatever lens is being used in that picture, other pictures of U.S. Army CH-47Fs clearly show the panels are flat, and match what we have in DCS.

You see how it's curved?

Ah, yes I see that part you're referring too now (that curved bit off the edge of the panel). The cockpit diagrams in the IRL -10 manual support the current design (being straight all the way down), but IRL imagery appears to be different.

MH-47G models seem to have the straight design (this one specifically 05-03762):
