I think it was just another case of "over engineering" to provide an additional guide/alignment for the receiver, and since there is enough "beef" in the rear frame abutment to accomplish that, it was eliminated in the later production. Pretty much what nukem556 said, although I don't think there is any twisting to worry about.
