Don't know for sure but I think they probably just drilled for the front rail pins in the wrong place. Afterall, the location of the pins is meaningless except that it centers under the mortise. Another good plate indexing job too that got the capstan back far enough that they needed seven keyleads at F1.

Note the 7 original key leads, and the non-original leather key bushings. But why I'm writing is the interesting location of the wear in the key bushing from contact with the front rail pin. The whole set of keys is similar, and under certain circumstances the front rail pins do indeed bind on the front of the mortise. (This explains a few things!) Any ideas out there with regard to what happened? It looks like the mortise is in the wrong place by just over 1/16". Anything else to watch out for? I know, I know -- watch for _everything_. But it probably is just the mortise in the wrong place, right?
