It is correct, Manx/Laxey made loads of those and they all have that style tenon. The theory is that with tenon fixed there is no stress on the unmounted shank. It is 100% correct.- RustiePyles CPG

Show Off Your WDC Pipes
Yep, they made both the double pitch and single pitch aluminum tenons, they also made single pitch bone tenons, though you don’t see them to often. And yes they did make loads of replacement Catalin and red Bakelite stems but I’ve never seen one that style with the heavy bend and square shank...- RustiePyles CPG
