This method does indeed seem to have been mis-classified as a hunter when it
is really a differential. The Norwich Axioms covered this explicitly in a
very simple way. 

"A lead is defined as the shortest part of a method which, when repeated,
will generate the entire plain course."

To be a bit more specific and explicitly include one lead courses, it could
be revised to: 

"A lead is defined as the shortest sequence of changes which, when repeated
zero or more times, will generate a method's plain course. "
