Does anyone have information on the early and very limited production run 25 round straight box magazines?

I believe the Knight Stoner collection is sporting a few.

Was M16/AR15 designed with the 25 round first or was that a post thought after the original box 20?

Why weren't the 25s adopted? Engineering problems or logistics/politics?
