For some unknown reason, many people think these radiators are Blitz Tropical Core Radiators. Most of the true Blitz Tropo Cores that I have seen have a fluted top tank. A long one-piece overflow pipe that runs down the side of the radiator, and bottom outlets that are half-in, half-out of the bottom tank.

The MCP that I removed this from had a condenser can similar to a Blitz at the end of the overflow pipe. It had a steel jam nut on the steel tank, rusted on solid, so I had to cut the pipe end to remove it.
This top tank has flutes on it, is it a Troppo Core?? ($$!!)
The filler cap is fairly low profile and doesn't have the extension like Eric's. I don't know which version would be "Better", or who/why it might have been done.
