Is this a common thing with Superformance windshields, or are there more than one (old style) type available?

John...This happened to me several years ago.....As I was warranted a new windshield glass/frame (while Jimmy Price still owned SPF) that included side supports with the assembly.

I removed the old frame and tried to replace it with the new frame (using my original side supports) but the holes in my old side supports did not line up with the holes in the new frame.
So I also had to use the new side supports that came with the new frame. It was that or remove the glass from the new frame and re-install into the old frame....needless to say I just swapped out the side supports.

I have to believe the SPF windshield/frame and side supports are hand made and put together as one assembly.
