Lightning close-channel transaction example?

From this article, I can understand that a punishment-based bidirectional payment channel (the type used by Lightning) would contain roughly this bitcoin script as one of the outputs:

OP_IF
“+7 days” OP_CHECKSEQUENCEVERIFY OP_DROP
<Bob pubkey> OP_CHECKSIG
OP_ELSE
OP_SHA256 <sha256(Bob secret)> OP_EQUALVERIFY
<Alice pubkey> OP_CHECKSIG
OP_ENDIF

I guess there are some block explorers that let you visualize the real script being used in a transaction, so can anyone point me to a real LN transaction (in mainnet) that follows the template above?

Thanks

The actual script implemented on Lightning Network is a little bit different from what you quoted. This is the script below and the specification is here

OP_IF
    # Penalty transaction
    <revocationpubkey>
OP_ELSE
    `to_self_delay`
    OP_CSV
    OP_DROP
    <local_delayedpubkey>
OP_ENDIF
OP_CHECKSIG

I've created that transaction on Testnet as the following,

Txid: 4f8d776c85b1fc15c1125e7043a9aee70e33f0793b472823e3946a8de075bec4
