From what I can tell, both sides recognise the McMahon Line (fourth map) as the de facto line of control, and India seems to claim that as its official border. Yet in some maps India includes areas beyond it too.
Note: I know that China doesn't claim all of Arunachal Pradesh, it doesn't claim the panhandle in the bottom right

I know about the dispute in general and the McMahon (not to moot your point, but it was the self-declared independent Tibetan delegation who signed it; there was an ROC delegate but he refused to sign it).
But where is this line? Because I'm seeing multiple definitions: the "smoothed" line that OSM shows (first map), the "wiggly" line I see on most official maps (fourth map, Google Maps shows both the smooth and wiggly lines), and then some weird in-between in the third map.
