No, there are tons of corporation Bells made in the 70s that are not side seams. |
For the 37 Bell, I think that the CORPORATION stamp ended around 68000, but continued longer on 43 and 72 bells. I don't know what the significance is of that and thought it might be related to the side seam. |
My LB 25 has a serial number 88xxx. The bell is stamped Corporation, but it doesn't have a side seam. |

I suspect it's more likely related to when the die wore out and someone said "hey, while were at it, let's go for more modern look" |
I tend to agree with that statement. The corporation stamp was quite different in serial number ranges by specific model. Ie. 37 vs. 43. I would guess the tooling wore out, and was changed during that process.
Here’s a range of serial numbers of each and approx. timing.
