Will the re-issued and re-priced C&O 2-8-4 have the correct pilot?

Scroll to CHESAPEAKE & OHIO KANAWHA #2718, Item No. 52402. Does this locomotive image have the correct pilot for the KANAWHA #2718? If not, post an image, or link to one, of what you consider to be correct pilot.

Is the pilot on the #2716 in the following link the one you have in mind?

It is not what "I consider to be the correct pilot."
Quick review of 2700 photos in the C&OHS indicate that
they all had the same pilot. When the loco was first
introduced, it did NOT have the correct pilot. A further
release of the loco had the correct pilot and the parts
diagram showed a different pilot with a different part
number for the C&O locomotive....

A quick look at the parts diagram at Bachmann indicates
that part # 0AX02 goes with items # 50903, 50904, and 50948...
