So I bought a 512 motor unit off eBay. I found it’s bag assembly for sale separately by the same seller. So I bought that too. I never really thought about this until now. Were there slightly different versions of the 508-512 bag?? This bag looks slightly different than my 508 bag. A friend of mine has a bag like this as well on his 509. Here are a few pictures of the bag I got, and my friend’s bag along with my 508 bag for comparison.

The bag with the circle on the k is the 508 bag. I think what you have on your 508 is actually a 509 510 bag.
The circle on the k is Kirby's signature. The 3c 4c 505 and 508 all have the Kirby signature. The difference between 505 and 508 the signature is the same. The two parallel lines start on right top of the bag to signature. Then after signature go down the left side. The 508 lines are centered above and below the signature. I could be wrong but look at the bags the 505 has the signature with circle on the center of the k. The 508 belt lifter is exactly like 505. The bag has same signature and lines go down the center.
