It is my understanding that was something they did away with as time went on. Basically they found it wasn't necessary and did more harm than good. I am sure others will chime in at some point but I have seen lots of Gottlieb assemblies without them.
Quoted from o-din:http://www.pbresource.com/KT-GFLIP03AM.html
"If your current plunger has a Tail, this was the original Gottlieb® design. This design was supposed to avoid plunger hangups. It turned out that the tail caused more hangups than it cured. Gottlieb® later removed the tail to correct the problems it was causing. Thus the above plunger is the correct replacement part for your tailed plunger."
I knew I had read that somewhere but I couldn't remember where. I know only about 10% of the flipper assemblies I see have those "tails" on them.
