Actually they did have grooves. The first Dragoon moulds did not have a groove, that evolved over time to one grove, then two by the end of their production. Most of the .36 Colts had a single groove mould, but their are some original moulds with out grooves, mostly found on the 62 Police Pockets. The .36 B moulds (Belt) had a different taper conical than the P moulds (pocket) I have seen four different conicals from old Colt .36 moulds, one with no groove, two different taper with a single groove and a two groove.
