Skeptical Buffer Face Plate and Board Misaligned?

Route14

I finally got around to building the Skeptical Buffer with face plate and the holes with the board don't line up with the holes on the face plate? Is this possible? Did I miss something?

I downloaded the drill template, drilled the enclosure, lined up with the face plate, put the toggle switches in and then when I went to mount the board the spacing is too narrow. Anyone else have this issue?
 
make sure your printer settings are 8 1/2 x 11 and not fit to page
I just noticed that there are two drill templates in the build docs. Looks like there was an early revision of the board that has different spacing. I bought the board when it was first released but didn't buy the face plate until 10 months later. Looks like I have a mismatch.

Maybe @Robert has faceplates for the previous version?
 
@Route14 There wasn't a faceplate for the first revision but if you don't mind waiting I can get one for you.

I could send you the new PCB revision but since you've already built it the faceplate would probably make more sense.
That makes sense. I probably saw the face plate released and picked it up knowing I had the board in my stash. I probably didn't read the fine print about the new revision.

No need for a Rev 1 face plate. I appreciate it but I don't want you to go through any of that trouble over one build. I can skip the face plate for now and reuse the enclosure for something else. If I like the buffer maybe I'll build another and use the face plate for that one or I can put it up for trade on the trading post.
