Always wondered why the Boeings had flat topped, no camber on the upper surface aft of about the quarter chord. Guess this is why.
Be very careful reading too much into the Boeing design.
If you look closely at the Lockheed design wing on the TriStar, you might notice just the opposite.
Now, having said this, the L1011 is quite unique...in many many ways.
