Nice sets! It clearly illustrates, in my opinion, how the 721 would've made much more sense, styling-wise, to be in place of the 621 in '46. It's modern squarish styling keeps in perfect sync with the rest of the line. In comparison, the actual '46 is so obviously in sync styling-wise with the Vassos deco pre-war sets.
