Default Front bumper rubber seal?

When I had my car disassembled for painting, I couldnt remember if it had the rubber seal from fender to fender. When I got it back, the body man (who is a Porsche body man) did not have the seal installed in front of the hood, but only between the fenders and bumper.. I went to the dealer and got a full seal before pulling the bumper and installing it in one piece from fender to fender.
My question is, since I see it both ways on various 928's am I correct in thinking that it should seal the entire front

seam?

If I remember right, from installing a new bumper cover a few years ago, no - nothing between the hood and the bumper cover.

78 to 86 - Front all the way across - Rear only on the quarter panel to bumper area with none were the hatch meets the bumper.
87 to 95 - Front only where the fender meets the bumper - Rear only on the quarter panel to bumper area with none were the hatch meets the bumper

Either a photo shadow or it's coming loose on the bottom of the passenger side.

Its not coming loose, thanks. Its the contour of a 35 year old bumper. Look at the drivers side.
