Weird T-18

Well day i picked up a T-18 to get the cluster gear out of. There's something strange I saw about it and was wondering if anyone had any input on it. The tranny came out of a '78 F-250. The truck was a 4x2 with a fixed yoke rear output. This is where i noticed something odd. The tailhousing has the 4x4 bolt pattern on it. It's the trapezoid rather than he 4x2 square pattern. Has anyone else seen a 4x2 T-18 with the 4x4 bolt pattern?

I wonder if early on they used the same tailhousing bolt pattern for 4x2 and 4x4, and only went to the two seperate ones at the redesign in '79.
