Question 1947 Bond Bread Cards - Rounded Corner Question

I think I've read everything posted on these cards in a VERY old thread (thank you Ted Z.)
I've acquired a set of these and have had the HOF's SGC graded. I've noticed they have been called beveled and rounded and in other research the use of die cut in descriptions etc.
Is it possible that these cards were made square originally and when initially inserting into the bread bags it was discovered they ripped the bags? Thus creating the need to round out the corners? It would explain why some are carefully rounded (good workers pride in details) and others more beveled (easier route) and some cut quite awkwardly (angrily?) Also, that a few may have made it into a "cutters" pocket prior to cutting; explaining the few found that are square yet have the white backs and glossiness?
I have found these cards very interesting indeed due to all the conflicting information and grading as original previously by graders before the realization their were 2 or more "sets".
Any thoughts?
