The D-179924 Kit of Parts included a 15E719 lead weight to help keep the 701B Princess from sliding while dialing.

Most weights found have the15E719 molded into the lead weight.

While looking in a set dated 3/60, I found this other design with no markings.  Has anyone else seen this design?

I'd guess it was an earlier version that was revised into the numbered weight.  The changes would strengthen the weight around the hole left for the housing mounting hardware (a potential weak spot) and accommodate the change in mounting cord location discussed here:
