And not that anyone really cares, but this approach to shorting the lands is also utilized when electrolytic plating isolated leads.  Either that or caging the leads, which is likely even more common, but potentially harmful to the glass to metal seals...

Would not make a good pin 1 indicator.  The 'ear/tab' is there, likely hidden behind a lead in the images.  Probably a soft spring-grade stainless.  Definitely pull before test!  Serious oops on their datasheet for not making mention of it

Yeah Ed, that was my first idea, but we don't have any here small enough diameter to fit in the footprint. I think we're just going to hand solder them in...
