Upon reorder, or running out of overstock, they decided it was cheaper (or at least unnecessary) to round the corners. Of course, this is purely conjecture, but it is "logical."
This to me seems like the most logical conclusion. Since it's unlikely that Bond Bread was actually printing their own cards in house; I'd believe it entirely possible the exact same setup was used to produce the SSS cards, at the same manufacturer, and then an equipment or process update changed the format from round to squared on all of the above.
