Your question jogged the ol' memory bank.  There's a bit of history
wrapped up in the 100V.  It was designed so that it transmitted upper
sideband on 20-15-10, and lower sideband on 40-80.  That became the
standard and continues to this day.  There is no technical reason to
change from upper to lower on different bands, just "that's the way
we've always done it".  Like the Centronics connector for printers,
the company is gone but the legacy lingers on.
