It is a matter of age as much as anything. Square nuts with a chamfer
on one side only were used where the whole assembly was painted over
after assembly. The second chamfer or a washer was added for those
items which were pre-painted and the unchamfered side would tear the
paint surface.

We can still buy square nuts with single chamfer, even in Metric
threads if we want them, and the old Coach Bolts are still available.
Our local nut & bolt supplier has excellent contacts for some of this
stuff.
