BLI Mike Coupler is smaller than MT

Hi everyone.

One thing I just noticed today about the BLI Mike: it's coupler is noticeably smaller than a standard MT coupler.  It's a little hard to see in the following photos, but easy to see in person - I'd say the coupler on the Mike is not much larger than an MT 905.

Here are photos of the two couplers side by side and then from the top:

The coupler is to my eyes much more in scale than a standard MT.   I wonder if BLI might make this available as a part . . .

That looks promising...does it work?
And what about the front coupler.
Thanks, Otto

Yep.  Works great.  Front coupler is the same.

Huh, guess BLI is getting into a groove after their earlier N scale teething issues.
