The 901 mount is much more curved at the front than the sporto. It is easy to tell the difference when the two are placed side by side.
Now, if some jerk sold a sporto mount(I'm assuming that he was just ignorant, not a bold faced liar) thinking it was a 901 mount and didn't return the buyers money, he should be called out and banned from the EarlyS Registry classifieds. That kind of behavior should not be tolerated. We all make mistakes but we should be accountable for them. The mount on the top is the Sporto mount. It's front edge is almost straight. The 901 mount has a big curve in it.

As usual, Jim is 99% correct (He's mortal so I can't give him 100%). All the above is true...two different animals for sure.
