Hi Mike
thanks for the pics, from them, yours certainly looks manufactured, and clearly mine has been modified.
It may be as simple as they were made, the ladies realised they caught on clothes, or some other reason they were not happy with them, got them modified and Gaunt/Wylie realised they should just start making them that way.
I don't think any of us are experts, but I do know exchanging ideas and hypothesis' is a great way for us all to learn, so thanks to everyone who has contributed.
Cheers, Tim
