Why were there standard and deep socket 51t mounts made?

Some barrels required deep sockets. I think those with barely any shoulder?
But good luck getting a response. AAC is dead.

I think the deep socket indexes off of the crown and the regular one indexes off the shoulder.
I have both types but it has been so long since I used my aac can I can’t remember

I was curious about this several years ago - see their response in this thread, it should help:
