One potentially valuable aspect of discerning between the Type 1 and Type 2 is that it could help people distinguish between real and fake cards. Since every Mantle is either a Type 1 or Type 2, a Mantle card that has characteristics of both Type 1 and Type 2 is fake.
I guess there was a thread about Type 2 vs Type 2 about a decade ago:

My bad for bringing it up again |
I asked PSA to recognize the partial diamond. They declined. They said it was too easy to forge (say what!?!?!?!).
