Question about vintage Gretsch lugs/back plates

Hi DW, I need your help again. I purchased a late 50's/early 60's 3-ply Gretsch snare shell recently and now I'm looking for matching double-ended lugs of that era. I've been scouring eBay quite a bit and I've seen some lugs with and without back plates on them. I think the back plates were mostly for the bass drum lugs, but I'm not certain. Does anyone know if back plates only came on bass drum lugs and/or if they came on snare drum lugs as well?

Cheers,
J-D

PS. Here are the back plates I'm talking about http://www.ebay.com/itm/50s-60s-GRE...630?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item460e521346
