I only been around R,U,and DM's and driven 2 of them and did the body werk on 1 of them . Soooo , yes the cowl vent is missing . I'll take a closer look at the super at the end of the month .

It has a cowl vent but the super liner cowl is rounded at the corners and the hood (when closed)goes all the way to the outer edge much like a pete hood.

OK , I looked . the differences are subtle . For the purposes of modeling the cab passes for both cept the cowl vent . obviously the hoods are different thus the change in the cab where the hood meets it (cowl) . From manufacture stand point , you would just change 1 or 2 panels for different models . Not arguing here , I just found it odd from the way I see things with what Brian said .
