Dickerson 861711 vs. 861711D - Reed Guice

 I just posted on the Rod Builders forum a 861711D Dickerson taper
taken from a rod built in 1938 and restored by RW Summers in 2005.
Measured over varnish.
 
I measured the rod after seeing David Ray's posting of an 861711 in his
taper library that is accessed from Hexrod. The tips look essentially
the same.  Except for where the swell begins, the butts are similar as
well.  The mid sections are very different. I would be very interested
in hearing what you have to say about the differences between the two
tapers.
 
Could this be the difference between an 861711D and an 861711?
 
Best,
 
Reed
