Goat, the split scimitar winglets are not unique to the MAX - they are on a whole lot of NGs as well. Looking around SeaTac recently I'd say roughly half of the 737s had the split scimitar configuration (not sure if any were MAX, but I'm sure most were NGs).
I don't know if they were all built that way or if the split scimitar is readily available for retrofit.
