One does hope that they considered the possibility that with a modular mold, and appropriate
inserts, they could achieve the variants. As someone else in this thread noted, there are
sufficient road names, including a few biggies, such as SP and UP, which have been applied to them
that the market goes far beyond the modelers of the EL.
