Floor plates

As we know Parker did some pretty weird things with the floor plates such as the stags on C grades and above. As I don't have my copy of TPS handy didn't the number of birds (or as some fondly call them flying turnips) relate to the grade of the gun? I noticed on my CHE 20 that I took Quail hunting this past week that there were 5 of these "birds" instead of what I thought should have been 4 for a C grade gun. All my D grades have 3 birds on the floor plate.
