Let's just accept that "common type ratings" were pretty well unknown to manufacturers such as de Havilland and Sud Aviation which were breaking new ground with their jet-propelled airliners. Sud's use of the Comet nose must have been a shortcut to save "re-inventing the wheel" and, as pointed out above, was structure and glazing but not contents.
