The ones marketed
for PeeCee use do not have either.
I wondered why the 55F's mostly had them, but most of the 55B's didn't.

It didn't seem like loading and unloading the head was likely to improve
the radial alignment!
THESE DAYS, we're looking at used, or maye NOS, so we're shopping by model
number, and the original intended market is meaningless.
If I find a 55GFR, I have no idea what market it was marketed for.
I never bothered to measure, but the 465's did seem to use less power.
