I dug around on the internet, but there aren't a lot of fit-pics, so it's difficult to find an example.@Chandler do you have photos of what you mean by 'roll' on poorer reproductions?
However... I found a past discussion at TFL that has some good examples. Scroll to post #23 for a good image.
There's also a link to the Acme Depot where Marc brings up the bad construction:
"One other characteristic which is often misrepresented by poorer replicas is the point of attachment of the back to the front pieces at the shoulder. Some replicas place this seam too far forward on top of the shoulder. Since the back edge of the epaulets is coincident with this seam, this construction often places the epaulets not on top of the shoulder, as with an authentic A-2, but falling forward off of the shoulder. This simply looks wrong if not altogether comical."
