Marv,
it would had been too difficult to "create" a shallow fuller LanCay from a standard first contract one (without fuller), plus I don't see how it could be possibile to modify a standard fuller blade into a shallow fuller one.
As far as I know there were never reports of rejected shallow fullered blades, (re)assembled later (as it happened with the General Cutlery variation).
