19. p and the quantum operators are referred to the center of the nonlinear crystal, there is no exponential factor at all [see S. P. Walborn, A. N. de Oliveira, S. Padua, and C. H. Monken, "Multimode Hong-Ou-Mandel interference", Phys. Rev. Lett. 90, 143601(2003)]. Of course, all of these expressions are related and should yield the same result when calculating correlation functions, since the electric field operators should also be correspondingly modified in each case.
