FWIW, the first time I played the Mozart Gran Partitta I used an F instrument that only went to low E, as I remember. We borrowed two of them from the Curtis Institute. The one that I played didn't extend below E (maybe Eb)) while the other went to low C, which was needed only for the basset 2 part in the Menuetto.
I was under the impression at the time (and still was until I began to read this thread) that they were both considered basset horns, one with a low C extension, just as bass clarinets can either go to Eb or to C and still both be called bass clarinets.
The case is different, of course with a basset clarinet, which is defined by the low C extension.
