I have no idea why the big two continued to load the 1 5/8 ounce loads and discontinued the 1 1/4 ounce. The target audience was not the vintage gun crowd but the users of modern, mostly Spanish and Belgian 3 1/2" tens when lighter loads were wanted. Original 1 1/4 ounce loads are extremely hard to find but the 1 5/8 ounce loads are sometimes encountered at gun shows. I bought a box of plastic Remingtons last month. I wouldn't be shooting those Super-X loads in the little gun. I use the RST 1 1/8 ounce loads for most of my shooting. It's only money.
