Actually, Frank, it's quite frequently there. Yes, usually not so prominently. Often inside a little oval.
It's funny, EK prints don't really have the option to be so-marked like that, because they are not produced in volume (usually), and therefore nobody's going to do up a fancy special set of leader titling just for them.
I think most of this stuff is the whim of the lab tech who was handling that reel. Though of course Technicolor Lab and Deluxe Lab do it differently. But the one guy who made up the titles for R1 and R3 decided to label it mega-huge, and the other guys decided not to.
This is kind like asking why some leaders have fancy fonts and some leaders have LAD girls in the CF, etc. Why some say "quad" in the soundtrack and others say "SR/SRD/SDDS/DTS" but still others say "SR/SRD/DTS/SDDS"!

There is nothing that irks me more when building up a print than having mixed heads and tails. Especially when it's something like H1,T2,H3,H4,T5,H6. You get a print like that and there is no way around rewinding reels before you start.
At least when I built up Kit Kittredge today it was H1,T2,T3,H4,H5,H6. I built Kit onto 6K reels because it was going onto an AW3 with fixed brains, so having the consecutive reels tail out actually saved a bit of time.
