So 1: LBC started before the puzzle wallets where a thing.

are you sure about that?
puzzle transaction was created in 2015-01-15 18:07:14 (block 339085)
Bulista created thread Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it in December 28, 2015
I'm sure there are earlier threads discussing the puzzle but that thread stands out the most
rico666 created thread Collision "Attack" feasibility study in July 17, 2016
and then he started this thread in August 02, 2016

and a few data from LBC site:

The pool found a private key to f92044c7924e5525c61207972c253c9fc9f086f7 (1PiFuqGpG8yGM5v6rNHWS3TjsG6awgEGA1) as 0x6bd3b27c591. At the time of the find, there were 0 BTC on that address. This is #43 of the puzzle transaction.

2016-08-10: pool inception - roughly 0.15 Mkeys/s
16 Jul/Aug: stand-alone experiments, then client and pool development
2016-07-28: standalone client: 36bits searched

Odd, thought for sure that it was. Anyway, the other points are still valid.
