I also enjoy this subject everytime it comes up.
Pat, my E&S, K9008, was new in 1960, and seems to fit your estimates. Except it has the Master Model curved above the oval, like you guess is mostly the older style. It is not undercut, and I can't tell if it is polycylindrical.

Douglas, are you sure your catalogue is about 1960? I have one which I assume is from before 1960 (the pictures show the throat G# and A keys on the same post, there is no mention of Robert Carree and the polycylindrical bore, the 'Master Model' is straight and below the oval, and the Saxes are only 'Dynaction', not 'Super Dynaction'). I guess 1950, and now I see that mine has that same quote you mention; I bet we have the same catalogue.

By the way, everyone, I think this old catalogue is great. Many of you know a lot about these old horns; are you interested in the information from the catalogues. Has anyone ever tried to collect a number of different ones? Would it be interesting if I took pictures of this one?
