I have not explored this question in great detail (or looked back through older records), but my guess would be that this was "transitional". Heuer rarely used bright-line cut-offs or hard-edged changes in the models . . . they seemed to use up the old parts, so we tend to see some "transitional" pieces in many of the models.
