Removing rivets from some Hurricane centre section joints I have come across a type I have never seen before – see pic 1. I am used to seeing rivets emerge from their ferrules as in pic 2. Is anyone familiar with the style of those in pic 1 and if so what is/was the purpose of the side split with jagged section? (Both pictures are of Hawker built items.)

Thank you ExBrat, I was beginning to give up hope with this. Your suggestion makes sense. At least it is a recognised rivet form. As it is the only one of this type I have come across, maybe it is a one-off replacement item.
