Default F8 frames

When I first came across those three F8s that were built on the same day I noticed that the frame on one had been cut on an angle and a different rear section welded on. Since then I've looked at all of them again and they're all cut exactly the same and welded back together. In the pic you can see the weld in behind the cab bracket at about a 45 degree angle. Any ideas on why this would be necessary?
