These are counts based on Takahashi's transliteration. As always, I could have made errors.
More than half of the chd words in A appear either at line-end or before an image-break (21/40). I agree that this is a large deviation from what is expected. A slight preference for these positions in still observable in B - this is clearer for the before-plant position, 2.2% of chd words appearing there vs an average (and expected) 0.6%.
Things are harder for shd, since the pattern is quite rare in A and shows even less preference in B.
