I just know I read that in one of the Sunbeam books. Jay The Alpine IV came with a flat bolt at the end of the crank. On the V, they went back to the earlier version with the hand-crank fitting. Occam's Razor certainly suggests that they used up the last of the flat-headed bolts when they converted from the IV to the V and that they were low on funds to buy more. And then someone with an historical bent of mind slapped himself on the forehead and said, 'wait a minute, chaps! We have boxes and boxes of those old hand cranks and hand-crank bolts over in Warehouse 14! Let's use them to save some bucks!" We know that somewhere between late Tiger I and early Tiger II production, they began to use the stapled cubbies. I would suggest that the one in your uber-late Alpine V was a riveted one just because they were using up old stock. Nothing else makes much sense.
