Currently I play and Automatic open system thumbplate oboe, but when I played my Fossati semiautomatic conservatoire oboe, my teacher Josef Hanic, taught me a new fingering for the E flat which meant I could play a standard long to E (as my short E was not always secure). The top E flat was 3rd octave key, half hole, 2nd and third holes in the left hand, and nothing in the right. This was brilliant, I was always able to get it. I wondered how I managed without it and why I did not know about it prior, but the previous oboe I had before that, a Loree, did not have the 3rd octave key, which is essential for this fingering. My few students all use this fingering now and swear by it. All the very best.
