Quick question on fuji reel seats

Hi everyone,
I have come across about 50 FPS reel seats from sizes16 through to 20, but a little bit unsure about them.
hope i can explain this ok......
the only hole through the Fuji hoods metal casing is usually a small rectangle (looks like a clip holding the metal hood on.)
well these 50 have a round hole...
I'm assuming that these are an old Fuji style but don't really know.....Can anyone enlighten me.

Thanks

The first question I would ask is whether or not the Fuji name is molded into the recess where the reel foot center sits.

All the FPS reel seats I've used have a round hole, not the capsule shaped hole.
