It's all new tooling that was made for the S3-2000 reproduction. They took quite a bath on it when the S3 didn't sell as much as they liked. The nice thing is that 90% of the S3 is compatible with the SP. All they had to do is make the rangefinder (not an easy proposition, it's even more complex than an M3).
