To me, it seems that the official design of the Gundam was changed after the model was made. Or maybe that the model makers didn't have all the info they needed when they made that particular model.
This could be explained by the fact that all Gundams had to have their designs simplified for animation purposes.

The canonical design of a Gundam is always the one in the modelkits. Unless we see the future released MG Seravee has been changed to reflect the TV show, we can't say that the animation version is the "right" one.
