Air filter is odd

[Tskadberg]

This is an air filter off the new f53 2020. Is this normal wear or is something off?

There is a baffle in the housing creating 2 sections.

The clean section may be for the PVC systems intake air. Far less then the combustion air.

Thank you

In my 2018 that second smaller section of the air intake box had a short round nipple as in intake, but there was a blue cap on the intake, so was not pulling any air. I removed the blue cap to increase air flow.
Thanks,
