Are my arches at the back different?

I can see the gaps are different , I mean I'm not blind.
They both measure around 19inches long
But one has a fingers gap between the piece of trim and the door and none at the back.
I'm not gonna complain as the repair was 3year ago and the man had nothing to compare it to.
But I'm just making sure one from a coupe and ones not from a saloon or similar.

Well, no - remember - he survived... that's how he left the hospital after 6 months.
