Only Team Professionals were fitted with large rivets (17mm.). Professional 'S' and Team Professional 'S' were fitted with medium rivets (13mm.), and Standard Professionals were fitted with small (12.5mm.). I'd suggest that these 'one of a kind' are nothing of the sort - probably Standards, and with small, not medium, rivets?
