Default Don Hume Holster Vintage?

I have three older Don Hume holsters with model numbers that didn't show in a search of the forum. Would like to know more about their vintage and any additional information.

H700, stamped "Don Hume Leathergood" with a revolver.
H720, stamped "Don Hume Maker, Miami Okla" in oval
H738, stamped "Don Hume" in script,"Miami Okla" below.

All have a thumb break.
Only the H700 has some felt? covering the inside of the snap.
Only the H738 partially covers the trigger guard, and has the offset belt loop for jackets.

The H720 3-2 has a small leather paddle that this advert posted by @SG-688 calls "open loop".

Was this meant for the belt, in contrast to the wide paddle, which intended to tuck in the clothing?
(Early Hume wide paddle example posted here.)
