The Ford Barn

I have a question about the shape of the pitman arm ball on a 1934 Ford pitman arm. I have several of these and the ball is shaped the same on all of them. Two are definitely worn so I thought that the shape was attributed to a worn ball, but I have one that doesn't appear to be worn at all and yet the ball is still not round. Can someone familiar with these tell me if the pitman arm ball on these were egg shaped from the factory or are they supposed to be round. Thanks.

If the photos are too poor I can take some more.
