I have no idea, Anthony.
But, then, this is probably because I am not a 4th Dynasty Egyptian architect.

There's a lot more to be said on the subject; unless, of course, you are content to stick with the "The AP was sealed after Khufu's funeral in the King's Chamber" hypothesis and have no desire to look into anything that may question it.
