The thing is, the majority of makers of French style oboes have taken a lot of their basic design cues from Loree as a starting point and some still do since Loree are perhaps the longest running and most respected maker (as Buffet are with clarinets).
When Louis started out making oboes in the early 20th Century, their instruments were almost identical to Lorees of that era. Then when Howarth picked up from where Louis left off in the late '40s, their early instruments also resembled the older Lorees, but they began to develop their own ideas as time went on.
I had all three in at one point - an early 20th Century Loree, a Louis and an early Howarth S3 (all dual system ring key conservatoire instruments) and the joints were all pretty much interchangeable.
But as things have evolved, each maker will have their own take on the design which gets further and further away from the instruments they were once based on.
