It was a simplified version of the graded dolls head rib extension that was an attempt to lower manufacturing costs of the trojan. That is what the Trojan was about, lowering costs in order to offer a lower priced field grade option. To compete with other makers offering lower priced guns.
After a few years of making them with a rib extension, it was decided that it was not necessary at all and this eliminated.
Graded guns were special ordered with no rib extension on occasion. Usually by competitive shooters.
