the trend seems to be the other way in many cases. For example, the 4x5"
and miniview graphic cameras usually used leaf shutters in the lenses, but
then added models with focal plane shutters in the camera body which could
be used instead of the leaf shutters with barrel lenses (i.e., lenses
which do not come with leaf shutters for view camera use etc.).

Um, Bob, the earliest models of Graphic press cameras had focal plane
shutters. Graflex didn't offer a press camera without focal plane
shutter before the Pacemaker Crown Graphic, introduced in 1947.
