Think "production engineering".  Assuming any electrical considerations 
being more or less equal the component was located where it made sense 
in production.  Some manufacturers would have left out heavy parts such 
as transformers until the end of the line, if possible.  If that were 
the case it could explain adding a ground lug, to give an upstream 
assembler a place to hang one end of the cap.  That's just one 
possibility of course but many of these questions simply come down to a 
matter of practicality and assembly order.  No rocket science, no hidden 
agenda, KISS.
