Both cones are correct.

To my knowledge the bagged version never shipped with a black blow molded nosecone though. I've been an owner for decades, and for years now, I've been watching ebay each time one came up for sale. I have yet to see that appear.
Another difference in the kits: The original Citation Patriot's decals also had longer red bars than the bagged version. The bags were narrower than the box, and the change was made for that reason.
