Ruddervator skin

Probably "who cares?" topic, but just for completeness...
There is a slight difference in the number of corrugated grooves used on ruddervator. 21 vs. 18 on the model.
I know that 2 types of skins were used - one with deeper grooves/flat surface and second with shallow/rounded ones, but could not find any evidence if they also differ in the number of these sections.
Similar thing for ailerons and flaps.
