[AT] Finally done

[charlie hill]

Mathew,  I'm not 100% positive but I think the snap coupler was an option. 
Yours is like the WC's.  The snap coupler was added a few years later and 
might have been optional on your CA.  I'm sure that some CA's came with the 
snap coupler.  I guess it is possible that yours was modified.
