Need help identifying MK3S parts

I am a day 1 MK3 owner and bought the MK3S kit when it was announced, but since the printer was working flawlessly, I never upgraded.

My colleague did and some months later had a problem with his Extruder which melted and Prusa advised to use a new part which he fitted and make one for me, which I put away safely.

I have decided that I can't put it off any more and need to do my MK3S update, so I dug out the parts and am REALLY confused..

The Extruder which came with the S kit, is in 3 parts and is labled C1.. I also have an R5 part which looks almost the same as one of the C1 parts, but the slot is a bit wider, so I suspect it was a minor cooling tweek..

Here are some photos:

 

 

 

But I also have an extruder labled R3 (which I believed to be the new one) which is only 2 parts.. But when I put it together its totally different to the C1 parts I have... here are the photos:

Can anyone remember which are the correct parts for the MK3s..

RE: Need help identifying MK3S parts

I am having a look through the store and I think I have worked it out.. The 2 Part R3, looks to be for the Mk3 and not the MK3S.. So perhaps I printed it before the S.. Intending to use that one day.

So if so, I now need to find the parts that my colleague changed due to his melting.. perhaps that is the R5 part I have.. Looking closer now, i think it is as some of the walls are much thicker, so the whole thing has been beefed up.
