Some didn't even have the C#/G# tonehole countersunk to leave a nice flat crown for a pad to seat against - it was left as a plain tonehole (like the LH3 tonehole) and the pad was curved to match the radius of the joint.

Maybe they wanted maximum depth of the C#/G# tonehole for tuning stability or for better tone quality, just as you'd see the C#/G# tonehole bushed on German/Oehler systems and more recently on some Buffet A clarinets.
