For any doubles method with Plain Bob lead heads any two (treble
fixed) courses differ from one another just by the exchange of two
bells. I've never bothered to look into it in detail, but I suspect
that there's likely an isomorphism such that that same property holds
for any doubles method with a four lead plain course.

If your notion of a single versus a bob is that the former swaps just
two bells, then I think you might want to argue that the only kinds of
calls possible in such methods are singles.
