In 2003 we had just bought the company and it was a big mess. It took us a couple of years to reorganize the works in Birmingham. Knowing the workers and the managers there I'd probably guess they had run out of large rivets and used the medium. It probably is a "mistake", but certainly your saddle is worth collecting as a "one of a kind"!
