Subject: [CR]Continetal Oval vs. Imperial Oval

During the recent discussion of Reynolds fork blades, the older style blades were called "Continental Oval". In other discussions, I've seen the older Reynolds blades identified as "Imperial Oval".

Are these actually one in the same? Or were there two, slightly different profiles of fork blades available from Reynolds at that time?
