Great info as usual.  The top one pictured is clearly the same type, but not the same exact projectile.  Mine does not have the distinctive marks above the notched area.

I really appreciate your terrific info.  I would've surely guessed that these were made in England, but then I did wonder how they could've been adapted so swiftly.  By the time the deficiencies of the first kind were noted and transmitted, it would take a while to get word back and a new design created and projectiles fabricated.  Shortening the distance to Samson & Pae in Richmond, instead of some other manufacturer in England, explains how this could've been done.
