Sorry, I wasn't paying attention. But it makes very little difference in the simulation.
This should not eliminate the main problem in the horizontal radiation, because the front baffle would have to be modified.
A rounded baffle placed close to the tweeter and midrange and the
woofer in B&W style would optimize radiation. Then the
horizontal radiation would be....

Due to the "virtually" narrower baffle, the edge diffraction shifts to higher frequencies and due to the lateral rounding the effect is less dramatic and more even (around 5kHz).
The less advantageous vertical dispersion remains unchanged - vertically wide radiating midrange driver with narrow radiating tweeter leads to a " step change " in the vertical dispersion.
