No. Only HQ up to a certain date had the side vents. They were gone by the end of HQ.

Hi Byron.
That date looks to be around 5/74, can we get any closer than that.

I have plenty of HQ Sandmans recorded, but I never recorded non-Sandman stuff like the side vents. I can't shed any more light on it apart from them being there in January and gone by September.
