There are three styles of plate to cater for different types of fork and available mounting points: https://surlybikes.com/parts/rack_sliding_plate
I think they have changed the plate design a little between v1 and v2 of their front rack too. Some of the older instructions show a different style.

I just got a new Surly front rack from Bike24, where it looked like the second pic on their site, note the lower sliding brackets.
When I got it this morning, the actual plates looked like in the first picture. Does anyone know if they are different versions or what's going on? I like the second bracket better because it has mounting point for the fenders, but I'm not sure it's worth the hassle of returning it.
