You guys are not the only ones, I too have wondered about this fact. It seems we as collectors ponder things that are so minescule.

I would agree with Paul that there seems to be little to no difference between the round vs. rectangular holes & that they are explained by a manufacturer's variant. The real difference lies in the type of hangers that adorn the dagger. Social Welfare hangers are certainly more scarce than Red Cross hangers.
