Is the steering rack a modified part? Gear Rack 1 x 8 with Holes cut down, so that it no longer has the holes?

Or just x2 1x4 gear racks in line.

That was obviously my first thought, but I can not see where the join between two 1x4s would be in the second picture. I think it might just be the angle of the photograph, but I was uncertain, hence the question. Two 1x4s would be logical.
