My normal TS (not the Orange) guide rod/barrel looks the exact same as your pictures as well as my shadow to your shadow mate pictures. My TS shoots like a friken laser gun and it being tilted like it is doesn't seem to affect the function or accuracy of the pistol and it isn't showing any excessive wear. I only have about 1500 through it, may change when the gun is worn in a little more. I personally don't think it's going to be a problem with the Orange.
