Split lines in surface after mirroring

Split lines in surface after mirroring

Split lines in surface after mirroring

(OP)
I've been reverse engineering a SW part and noticed that some surfaces don't appear to have a split line after mirroring.  It looks like the certain features were originally done as a symmetrical piece along the centerline.  The model was then split/cut/seperated along the middle to give access to the interior (i think...).  The model was then mirrored back together to make a complete closed model.  Now the weird thing is that some features have a split line while others don't although all features started out as a swept surface that was tangential at the centerline.  Does someone know what's going on?

Thanks,
Tim
