Is there a normal 1956 Quarter Type B?

Many of the business strike 1956 B's show the weak (and short) leaf in the stem intersection above T of QUARTER, but the ES is the normal wide gap for a type B. Anybody have a feel for a more definite per centage of these?
Others show a strong leaf like an ordinary type B, but the ES gap is narrow like a non-B.
At the moment, all I know for sure is from the picture. Can somebody verify it from an actual coin?
Let us do a census. Are there any other varieties out there? How many of each?
I would have liked to have spent a little more time researching these, but I best get these links up before they expire.

Weak leaf in stem intersection above T of QUARTER. I have this coin. That leaf is even weaker than the picture. (Wide ES)
