Why do some ribbed semaphores have 2 screws fixing the outer cover and some have 4 rivets? Is this a year thing?
Are all early BD’s 4 rivets?

Ribbed have the 2 screws, Grooved have the 4 rivets. SHO vs SWF manufacturer. the two were used interchangably during barndoor production years until smooth semaphores were introduced in 1954.
