Actually, I think there's a little more to it than that.
Compare Barouder's photos with randy'jawas. The derailleur in randyjawa's photo has rivets with nice, clean, round donut-shaped heads, which have been smashed flat on the other one. Whoever smashed the rivets flat on Barouder's derailleur, I'm sure they had good reason to do it!
