I think the spot welded brackets are predominantly a late model feature; however, with different parts being supplied at different times to the different manufacturers would have caused quite a bit of variation.
Many of the hulls that I have seen are welded but with different spot welded features (ie rear lift eyes), so I have not picked up on a pattern to support either way your question/statement.
