Yes they do. It gets very annoying when building with old 1970's bricks. I
know, because I have over 100,000 bricks from before 1980. When I built my
new red LEGO Cathedral, I took pains (and pain is the correct word here) to
make sure that those tear-offs were not showing on the outside of the
building. So I had to make sure that those thousands of 1x1, 1x2, 1x3 and
1x4 red bricks had the tear-offs were facing the interior of the building, a
royal pain in the butt. I much prefer newer LEGO, where the tear-off is on
top of the brick.
Another thing about those tear-offs that "frosts my pumpkin", are the 50's
and 60's 1x1 white bricks with numbers and letters on them. 25% of them
(naturally one out of 4, since there are 4 sides to the bricks) have the
tear-off on the same side as the letters. I hate that!
My 2 cents/pfennig/centimes,
