IIRC, there was an issue with Force 12 over the design of the driven
element cell being too similar to the C3. Force 12 used both types of
feed on various antennas - for example, I believe the C31 had/has
paralleled driven elements, and I know people had trouble with the
15-meter SWR at first.
Yes, I know I didn't answer your question - you need a serious Skyhawk
guy like K3WW..

I just got my hands on an "Original" design Bencher Skyhawk. The Driven " CELL

As compared to the later design with the loading straps across all three driven elements
Is there any significant difference in performance between the first direct and tied together strap latter design ?
Other then the obvious feed point change, then there is Driven cell elements placement .. with the initial design starting back to front 15 meter,20 meter ,10 meter driven .]
And the latter design had the more conventional 20 meter,15 meter 10 meter cell configuration rear to front .
