Put a straight edge across the rib to check if you can't tell the difference.

Here is a link to a DHE with a flat rib, you would notice the difference right away if it had a flat rib. They are kind of neat though.

I checked out the rib and it is not a flat rib. So I got out the VH 16, GH16,DHE 16 and the other VH 20. and measured the rib height directly above the hinge pin and the rib on the VHE 20 measures only 1mm higher than on the other guns. It sure looks like a lot more when I put the other guns beside it
Guess I have a good eye for detail( old optometrist joke).

Harold;
It sure looks like a raised flat rib to me. If you could take some pictures looking from the breech down the barrels and some looking directly down down on to the rib it might help clarify. I'll have my DHE 32" flat rib 20 with me at the Southern for you to see what one looks like.
