Dräger make a lot of different variations not just the tip (Some of their other tips are very long for e.g. truck and other industrial use and some gauges are supplied with range of tips becase they are interchangeable.)
They also can have different pressure range / dial and brand sticker. Here are some of the dial variants I have, all with the straight tip. I do have one with the tip in the instruction leaflet.
Presumably they print limited version of instruction paper becase the operation of button and adjuster or doesn't really vary. I like their products because I find them reasonably accurate for this style of gauge, having compared to expensive calibrated ones at work, also being easy to use and read -- not just because example as pictured in the model year T/E/S manual came with my 911. I have a other different Drägers beyond these in picture but they are in glovebox of cars.
Also have some MotoMeter ones -- their little leather cases are better than the thin, cheap looking plastic Dräger case.
Dräger style are still made but IIRC branding changed and colour are now silver.
