Quite true.  I suspect, as Marc says, that the III was given additional 
clearance to accomodate future taller bodies, such as the TTL and, perhaps 
more immediately, the M5.  The II mounts like a bayonet lens, which means 
that the 90 degree finder must be removed.  The III uses a kind of internal 
breech lock with an external lever, which enables the entire assembly to be 
mounted as a unit.  Very slick.
