Reynolds offered 531 fork blades and rear stays with either domed and slotted ends or square ends.
Peugeot used domed forks and stays on "most" their of their Reynolds frames.

Gitane, Bertin, Lejeune and a lot of other French makers used fish mouth ends on most of there Reynolds frames up through the early 80's. Motobecane and others used both types of ends on some of their frames so there's no cut and dried standards.
