This is what they looked like before: the bottle on the left has, as Steve@Advance has pointed out, raised lettering on the bottom rim indicating that the bottle was made for the San Angelo, Texas, bottling company. It does not have the raised Coca Cola script at the bottom of the neck, but it does have a Texas star.
The other bottle has the name of my town, Shreveport, Louisiana on the bottom rim, but it also has the Coke script at the top. Apparently the individual bottlers had some leeway as to how they wanted their bottles designed.
I too remember the nickle cokes and the various reconfigurations and regenerations of the vending machines. Remember the ones where you had to snake the neck of the bottle through a series of long slots to get it to the release chute? I believe this was Nehi's machine; they offered lots of flavors in 12 oz. bottles. If your flavor was situated between other flavors, you had to do a Rubic's Cube maneuver to get your drink in the right position.
Coke's machine was proprietary to its own bottles, as I recall. At some point it was reconfigured to dispense the taller 12-oz. hourglass bottle. I am supposing the 12-oz. size was offered in response to competition from the larger drinks--RC, Nehi, Big Chief, etc., which were already in 12 oz. Coke, Grapette, and Dr. Pepper originally had just 6 oz., I think.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
