Leslie I thought the same thing, but when I went back in the BLUG, that special lug you are referring to is a seat lug, with the seatpost clamp and everything. Two different lugs.
Here's the famous one: <http://media.tumblr.com/3481d96969a53412f236eb0f2c257b0f/tumblr_inline_mkut7pukgd1qz4rgp.jpg> or maybe you are talking about a different special one than I was thinking of. At any rate, the middle Cheviot lug looks the same as the one on recent Betty Foys.
