Here's an interesting observation...Although the late P08 frame notch (the cut for the lanyard loop) is the same as the early [P04, 1900] frames @ 1.8mm, the P08 has longer staple 'legs'...8mm, as opposed to 6mm...Was the frame made thicker???

And the shoulder-to-bend measurement for the loop was increased from 3.5mm to 5mm...

It wasn't intended to be used, so they made the notch wider???
