Most of my Nova chuck jaws have a dovetail shap on the inside of the jaws. Why does Nova recommend using a straight side to tenons.

Santa was nice enough to have brought me a SuperNova2 Pro-Tek chuck set that included a set of 50mm jaws. Unlike the 50mm jaws that came with my SuperNova1 chuck, these do sport dovetailed inner and outer jaw faces. Nicer yet, the Pro-Tek chuck key tightens and loosens righty-tighty and lefty-loosey.That would be for the Nova 50 mm jaws. The 50 mm jaws don’t have a dovetail and are straight.
At least for the jaws that gave me trouble, there is no discernible hook, and in profile it looks to me like a simple dovetail.
