Ralph,

According to the Hammers Blow article, Matt Waldrop had  the bottom 
dovetail (from Sid)
and asked Sid to make him a matching top. As you said the top dovetail 
is smaller than
the bottom but Sid made the top base the same size as the bottom 
(except for the
dovetail of course). Hole spacing is the same. It must have worked for 
Matt. He is
very enthusiastic about being able to make matching dies easily.

Sid must have decided that if it worked for Matt he would offer it in 
his sheet.

By the way the price I mentioned is for a LG 25lb.

If I misread any of this I hope someone who has the Hammers Blow will 
correct this.

Bob
