Super Le Tour Frameset Not Mitered

Had the opportunity to look inside a Super Le Tour frame from around 1985 and was surprised to see the tube ends are square cut and squashed at the head tube junction and seat tube/down tube junction to make room for the opposing tube to butt up to it. The head tube+lugs are one piece so it was wide open where the top tube and down tube joined in to the head tube. Might be a Panasonic frame, but was surprised they took this type of a shortcut in production.
