The alignment problem is because it's been trimmed. AFAIK, they do that to all the bands that go on the lanceros, as they would wrap all the way back around to the face (front) if they didn't.

ADDENDUM: Here's the untrimmed band:


You can see how, even after trimming off an end, it still wraps back around to cover the "Op" in "Opus X" on the opposite side. That's why looks so strange, the under flap of the band is taller and rounded, while the over flap is shorter and straight. The straight lines across the bottom of the band still line up perfectly though.
