ESB Graflex D rings - a discussion

Hey guys, just one other thing I noticed on the DV ROTJ grips is the thicker black tape they used to secure them, which makes them slightly further away from the bottom surface, whereas the grips on the ESB lightsaber are much closer by using a thinner tape, such as the 3M Roy provides, or super glue ... see picture :

Good eye! Yea, these grips are held on by like foam tape or something. When I cropped my circle, I compensated for this.
