When wax Amberols were made it was decided to make them with flat ends to avoid confusion with two minute records. Blue Amberols continued to have flat ends for several months, the May 22, 1913 report of the Amusement Committee noted that mould scratches had been reduced and the extraction of records from the mould had been made easier by reverting to beveled ends for Blue Amberols. Flat end BA's did not die a quick death and many were issued throughout the middle and late 1910's. The seem to be common in released of the US Marine Band before 1921.
Hope this answers your question.
