Well if there are slots in the upholstery tool as you say, it appears that my assumption about clogging is correct an accurate concern.  Releasing the full suction [with open slots] of the wider surface upholstery tool would diminish the clogging potential in the narrow neck dirt opening of the crevice tool. 

The only point I think you are referring to is the bag locking/staging bracket on the later models ORECK bags to hold the bag collars securely.  Which I must say work well.

Well the open slots were designed to make the flat head tool easier to glide; something that most SEBO marketed products do. Their flat mattress tool for example doesn't have any open slots.
