Yes, there should be no removable beading on the outside. The frames are
fitted without glass with the non-removable (plastic welded) beading for
the glass on the outside. The glass panels are then fitted from the
inside and the removable beading clipped inside to fix the glass in
position.

Agreed, although I wouldn't call the outside "beading". It's just a solid frame.

So why were some made with the removable beading on the outside?
