Question on Case 6233 pen

I've got a 64-69 Case red bone 6233 and a 2000 6233 Delrin. The older knife has a single backspring supporting both blades, making for a very slim, trim profile for carrying. The later model has two backsprings, one for the master blade and one for the smaller pen blade. This knife is significantly fatter than the older one. Anyone know why and when Case made this change to the 6233? Just curious.

It was sometime in the 90's but not sure exactly when.
