Bell shapes are constantly changing - the same is true with Leblanc basses as some had much smaller bells than others depending on what they happened to find worked best at the time.

I had a 1962 Buffet Eb clarinet and that had a really short bell compared to some earlier and later models I've seen which were a much tighter fit in the case (see attachment), so Buffet and others are constantly changing things according to what works best at any given moment.
