The lever would move forward and allow the gears in the hinge to separate and cause the seat back to recline unexpectedly. They added a roll pin in the lever to stop that sometime in 66. I can take pictures of both hinges if there is interest. I'll just have to dig through my archives ( a huge pile of crap) to find 2 examples. To tell the truth, I never noticed the difference in the length of the levers but it makes perfect sense
