Dave,
Actually, the 1905 -1910 wear plate did result in more of a straight bolt setup.

Manufacturing costs might have been higher to use the wear plate since there was the wear plate to manufacture, along with additional operations on the barrels themselves to fit them. But service was made easier no doubt.
