If the pichney stuff is anything like the mussos I think they poured the lead directly into the belly hole and let it settle around the through wire. At least a couple mussos I dissected were built this way.
I like the belly lead on the perimeter though. A couple plugs I experimented with had the lead tucked way up and it made the plug very unstable and made the plug want to roll on its side. I think once you get the lead beyond the mid point of the body diameter the keel effect of the lead is less pronounced.
