Graham Burnside was my English teacher & was the guy I asked.  Yes, the Remington version was fatter & had rounded shoulders.  I believe that you could theoretically buy a Remington No. 3 (Hepburn) in that caliber also. 

But if you had appeared in either Illion or New Haven with 3 double eagles in your pocket and wanted either the 1899 or the 1895 repeaters, could they hand you one?
