When I was very young they had one on the top and one in the middle. Or is my
Memory playing up.

This is a scandal. 'Heritage' walnut whips had a nut inside and one on the top. They were also bigger.
I'm informed that the M&S whips still have a nut on the top.

Not totally certain I wish to nibble on Duncans walnuts. 
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

WIKI:
Originally manufactured by Duncan's of Edinburgh in their Beaverhall Road factory, there have been a number of flavours of Walnut Whip over the years, including coffee and maple flavours, but currently only vanilla is widely available.
The original Walnut Whip contained a half-walnut, or more usually walnuts that had been broken during handling and transportation and therefore not suitable to be placed on the top. It was later marketed with an extra walnut on top, and subsequently the walnut inside was removed to leave one walnut outside.
The chocolate cone itself and the vanilla fondant filling have altered in recent years. The original whips were hand made by ladies extruding chocolate from a piping bag onto a rubber mould, each containing 12 'formers'. This generated the original deeply ridged surface, and the fondant at that time was more dense. [1] The texture of the outside surface is a skeuomorph.
When the Duncan's brand name was dispensed with by Rowntree's and manufacturing moved from Beaverhall Road in the late 1970s, the manufacturing process changed from being hand made to being hollow moulded by machine. An attempt was made to recreate the original surface appearance but with limited success, and it now has no function other than decoration.

Not tried the Sainsperry one's but I don't rate the M&S one's but that's probably lingering memories of the real thing getting in the way.
Anyone seen the size of Mars Bars these days two mouthfuls and it's gone, as kids we use to slice these up very thinly and share them out.
