Doubs and George,
as far as I know the TC bullets was modified during 1916 for two main reasons: the Allied propaganda against the TC-bullet because of not conforming with AIA Treaty and also for TM08 feeding problems.
The TM08 was adopted for the LP08 during the 1917 but was already employed for the Mondragon starting from 1915. So it was possible for the Kriegsministerium engineers to know problems related to TM08 feeding with TC bullet before 1916. If you have my book, this problem has been analysed at page 49 and 63.

Ciao

Mauro
