I agree with Ron. The 'improvements' were the result of reduction of costs in production by simplifying machine setups and decreasing milling operations... witness the sideplate full length projection boss over the trigger lever and the rounded front on the upper receiver. They ultimately even eliminated the checkering/embossing of the toggle knobs... and the safety lever...
