What is the orange frame on Josef's printer?

Hi, in the first video, how come the boss's extruder looks different from the typical i3MK3S? It has an orange frame at the bottom front. What is it? It seems that the front fan of his printer is also oriented differently from the standard setup

That's the original Mk3 extruder configuration. The part cooling fan was oriented vertically and blew down into an orange duct.

Thanks. Can we have something like that for the i3MK3S+?

Well, I suppose you could replace the newer parts with the old versions, but the changes were made to improve air flow. I've left my Mk3 with the original configuration. It doesn't make a difference in terms of print quality or anything.
