Jim,
     Ok, moving ahead to the March 1, 1981 rule book, the dwarf signals 
could display: Slow Clear, Slow Approach, Restricting, Stop and Stay 
(This name had simply changed to Stop in the December 15, 1999 rule book).
Now to your question. The picture of the dwarf signal in the '67 rule 
book has the top of the signal box curved on both sides at the top. It 
really makes no difference what shape the box is in as it is all about 
the aspect. The dwarf signal "Restricting" aspect is yellow on the top 
left with red on the lower right.
