3.2 inlet on a 2.5

Hi all
I have seen something strange with my '97 base 2.5 engine. Have owned the car since last summer, and has changed many parts, and hop e to get the driving experience better than new. Since this is my first Boxster, I do not know all the differences from the 2.5 to the 3.2 version yet. Some weeks ago, I changed the servo pump, and got familiar with the engine bay for some hours..
It seems that an earlier owner has changed the inlets to a 3.2 type. If I understand it correct, should my 2.5 have only one crossover tube. In my car the engine has two.
This gets me to wonder. Is this a change to the better, or should I convert it back to the original setup? The car is running quite nice and pulling good in both low and high revs today. Has only some vacuum in the oil filler tube and a little smoke sometimes. Have a new AOS on the way, who will address this I hope.

Attached are two borrowed pictures of a 3.2 engine and a 2.5.
