Okay this might just be me over analyzing the differences in the K-36's but what is the purpose for the two solid little plates on the 'cow catcher' (the part below the coupler)? I first noticed it in this photo I took in Durango back in May showing the 486 having this and 481 not. I then noticed 483 had it in some of the 1970 pictures Russ posted. So anyone know any rhyme or reason why they exist? Thanks!
