Meacham Sharps

I'm rather new to the Sharps world and would like a little info on Meacham sharps. After looking at several pictures it appears that the one thing they have in common is the milled or cut down type lockplate. Did they actually use new locks or were they just reworked conversion locks? Any info helpful.
