My 159157 which was at the annual meeting a few years age has the 'pinless' bolt plate.
My take is this; Was the wear plate really for wear, or to make barrel /frame fitting easier? I have a 5 digit plateless VH that I have put 10 - 20000 rounds through with no wear, and a lifter and a top action with half as many with no wear. That would have been a lot of game shots, even before 1900.
