I saw some copies without any dot in the legend. Variation for collector. I do not think that the absence of these small dots is important, contrary to the positions of objects, change of direction or other elements that give rise to real interesting variants. However, many variants known and listed since always, are due to simple errors or artistic fantasies. Therefore, it seems normal to classify this lack of dot in the legend as a variant, because this falls into the same classification logic as the examples given.
