I believe you are correct. I recall seeing a beautiful late 40's Gillott at Lars Anderson a few years ago that was owned by a Boston collector, built with very elegant O/E lugs with a double spearpoint detail. I don't know much of the variations of OE lugs, however.

Oscar Egg style lugs are a good deal plainer - being really from a slightly earlier era.
