Not so. This variation in fingerings is shown in the original fingering
chart for the complete Klose method, which was originally published in the
1800s, long before there ever was an R-13. So they can hardly be "R-13"
fingerings. The chart states that some instruments will need the Eb key for
notes like high D and others will not.
