You're probably right. The plans sure indicated a "normal" tip pattern, but the outline on the balsa suggested otherwise. Makes me wonder how many were actually built with the "square tip" extensions by kids told to "follow the outlines carefully"...

I can work up a better set of fins, with the grain running along the leading edge instead of the trailing edge.
