Gerneral inquiry on the No.4T Pad/Bracket setup

[jonh172]

Just curious if anyone knows why the front thumb screw on the bracket wasn't just attached through the center of the front pad like the rear one is?
Was it for recoil absorption?
Seems like it would have been a more solid, less labour intensive setup?
