I actually agree with most of the ANSI CHANGES to C.
BUT, K&R C IS C, not "C like", in spite of not being "ANSI C"

Some minor NITS:
The constraints are:
sizeof(short) <= sizeof(int)
sizeof(int) <= sizeof(long)
sizeof(short) < sizeof(long)
IIRC, K&R permitted sizeof(short) <= sizeof(long)
You COULD build a C with 32 bits for every type.
