B&H scalloped/scolloped end rings

I have attached an image of what I understand to be the end rings referred to. Are these only found on Emperors?

Sorry, tried to add an image but the site wouldn't allow it.
If any one does have an image that would be great.

Yeah - only on Emperors (which are silver plated versions of Edgwares).

Regent and Edgware have your traditional-looking socket rings.
Emperors have the scalloped ones.
926 and 1010s have flat-sided socket rings.

They also did heavy gauge flat-sided ones with bevelled edges and a central groove on Rudall Carte Graduate clarinets which are Regents with a matt finish (the B&H made ones as opposed to Bundy/Buescher Aristocrat stencils).
