Think it is plain and simple bad lube in the originals. The new one has no visible changes. The bearing isn't floating around in there it is pushed back by the clutch springs. There is no need for a clutch fork return spring.
The design of the TOB is not any different from TOBs reaching back through all makes even into the 1930s.

1935 Ford
