Kirby Bag Guard - Model 514, 515 or 516?

[kirbyclassiciii]

While most sources point out that the bag guard - that plastic piece that is mounted on the lip of the Sani Emtor whilst the bag cloth is already mounted - debuted with model 516, I'm wondering if that part actually debuted during the 514 or 515 run?

Thank you,



Ben

If the bag guard did debut with the 514 or 515, I've never seen one on those models except when they had replacement bags. So I doubt it.
