Driver's roll-over bar on 289FIA

Got a question on the forward-braced roll-over bar on 289FIAs...
Should the vertical legs of the bar be visible from the cockpit?

I haven't been able to find anything definitive in all the pictures I've collected.
The most illustrative pictures I have of the area are of CSX2433 (and no, it's not an FIA car but it has an FIA roll bar) and it looks like there's a removable panel that fits in front on the legs.
Some shots show the legs of the roll-over bar exposed, and another shot shows this extra (?) panel in place.

Anybody know what is correct? Am I right in assuming that there are two panels - one is the bulkhead between cockpit and trunk, and the other is in front of the legs, and is removable?

Cheers,
Glen
