Also with the first one - I reckon the bell can be done away with entirely and the lower joint shortened sufficiently to give the low G as its lowest note if they're not going to use any upper register notes. And this will make the instrument much lighter in weight for young players to get started on.

But maybe they want to retain the full length joints and bell for a reason that I'm not seeing. Most likely it's much easier to manufacture paring a regular clarinet down to a more simplified form by removing the keys, pillars and toneholes that are surplus to requirements for the programme - the LH2 ring key can be dispensed with and a single tonehole put in its place (which will even up the finger spacing), but that will mean relocating and resizing the tonehole to produce an in-tune E and if these clarinets are already part of a much broader production run making these, the more advanced models and also the standard 17/6 Boehms, then setting out top joints with a different tonehole layout may not be cost effective by the factory.
