My current project TS81... came with a second butchered scuttle that has the
raised plinth (?) for hinges (in other words off a post60k car). Both the
stanchions in the boxes and the one still on the scuttle are slotted without
plate. Could be another case of finishing up with what they had before they
re-invented the stanch... I mean wheel...

No need to apologize, Randall.
I responded basically to share my concurrence with the
finding in the spare
parts book.
I DO wish that there was a spare parts book (and factory
repair manual, for
that matter) for the post 60000 to 3B cars that is as
complete as those for
the pre 60000 cars.
My current understanding, through kind and generous
responses on this list, is
that the stanchions for post 60000 (approx.) had a smooth
(no key) face on the
scuttle side.
Both of my donor cars (post 60000) had slotted stanchions in
the box of
spares........go figure.
