Not so odd. Just the way it is today. Less material and less surface towards the cylinder walls reduce friction and reduce fuel consumption. Just look at the pistons in the pictures; from the old B202 piston to a piston from a formula 1 engine. The B2x5 (Trionic 7) piston is closer in appearance to the F1 piston than to the B202 piston. B202 piston to the left. B2x4 piston to the right. < http://saab.ath.cx/stcs/presho/Modds/Cool%20Kolvar/Diverse%20SAAB%20T%20kolvar/B202%20och%20234i.JPG > B2x4 piston to the left.
