Yep, full Oehler, aka professional instruments. The middle finger position is indeed sharp for Austrian models. But for German models, the level of sharpness is not severer than the lowness of low F on Boehm systems (at least for my clarinets), which most people accept for so many years until recently manufacturers begin to add the correction key. Also, I would like to mention a not widely known theory here. As you all know, clarinet is the only transposing instrument in the woodwind section. For all other members of this section (i.e, flute, oboe and bassoon), without any doubt, their key systems are designed, ideally, to play the C major scale most easily. By realizing this, it is not hard to understand why F sharps can be played easily on Oehler system while F naturals are not. This can be also observed for the third space C sharp (and the high C sharp). On Boehm, the transition from middle B to C sharp is not very smooth and in fact the trill of B/C sharp is in theory impossible because it requires using both pinkies, one up, one down. But it can be easily achieved on Oehler system. Nevertheless, even with this theory, I still have to admit fingering for Oehler is more difficult than Boehm, especially considering that nowadays probably the role of clarinet in the band is more essential than it in the symphony orchestra.
