George,
The first sintered brass knives used a 5th Version blade and the end of the tang had a constant curvature (1st photo). The change in tang shape didn't occur until the Two Dot knives and the end of the tang had a flattened area, which changed the pressure exerted on the lockbar/spring mechanism (2nd photo). There is a slight difference that can be seen between the lockbars of the transition knives and the Two Dot knives (3rd photo). The photo shows a 5th Version on the left, a transition in the middle and a Two Dot on the right.The lockbar for the Two Dot sits back from the end of the front bolster.
