Sorry if this is a too-basic-question, but I have noticed when looking at photos of early/mid 1950s TR2s, some have a narrow piece of accent trim on top of the fenders that runs the length of the car and some do not. What is the deal on this? Was it an option, an upgrade that came on later models or something else? Thanks.

TR2/3/3A TR2 question from a newbie

Do you mean the fender beading? That was present on the early TR2s, but it was a body-colored plastic rather than the stainless beading used on late TR2s and subsequent cars.

Yes the original plastic trim fitted to TR2s was much more discrete than the stainless fitted to later TRs. Many restored TR2s have had the later stainless beading fitted. I believe that the plastic trim is only available in limited colours and many owners prefer the look of the stainless steel beading.
I will stand corrected, but I believe that the bonnets on TR2s were slightly wider than those of the TR3 and 3A because the TR2 trim doesn't go along-side the bonnet.

There are a few cars out there whose owners have chosen to fill in the gap between the tub and fenders with bondo as a cosmetic "upgrade". Perhaps you've seen some pictures of some of these...
