Yes, I think the way he did it for his own plane makes more sense to me, the way he did it for the above plane seems less practical. Unless I'm missing something that retains the LC, you would have to hold it in place while you tightened it down enough to stay put when inserting the blade assembly.
I wonder if it was just to speed things up a bit & save having to saw/file the notch for the LC axle? Apparently, George had a bit of a thirst, and the planemaking was to cater for that - one article I read said he sold each plane for the equivalent of a bottle of Scotch, quickly purchased after the transaction.
There's no denying he was pretty good at banging up infills...
Cheers,IW
