(Disclaimer - I am maker of the Forte' C clarinet)
I will only comment on changes to the internal dimensions of the bell. Some clarinet bells incorporate an innovation, I'm told by some that was first seen in the 1920's, with a dimensional disruption - Backun uses it, the Selmer Signature A uses it, and we are now using it on the Forte' C clarinet. What the heck does a dimensional disruption mean - an enlarged chamber or tapers within the inside flair radius of the bell of proportioned dimensions and placement. We call it TRAC - Tuned Resonance Acoustic Chamber in our innovation. The purpose is similar to the passive bell vent or alternate key used to raise the flat lower notes and change timbre of the lower clarion notes and also to change resistance - mellow?
