You should reach out to Andrew at SLR magic. He’s on Facebook or though their website.

Thanks for the replies. The screw thread for the ring is still there on mine so at least in this copy, the design of the mount hasn't changed. Possibly just the inclusion of the ring. I saw the 85mm one and it really does have a different design with no thread.
The 50mm anamorphot is a very recent copy and does have the ring.
I did try and reach Andrew but he isn't responding on Facebook. So I emailed and someone called John started to reply and thought the ring should be there, but then disappeared on me.
Several UK dealers have stopped selling SLR Magic because of issues like this and inconsistencies in stock and communication. Lucky for me I got a bargain out of it. If the ring really is just cosmetic, I will probably just forget about it but it would be nice to be sure.
