Obviously there is no electrical difference in the circuit as shown, since
the four are all in series. No difference under fault conditions seems
likely. So maybe it's a mechanical issue.

I don't have the article, but I am imagining a battery holder with two
links to connect the three C cells together, and wires or a snap coming
off the remaining two connections. Now replace one of the links with a fuse.
