Who did Hamill replace when he rejoined the Kingsmen in 1976 after leaving the Senators?

No one left the Kingsmen when Hamill rejoined them in 1976 so I have difficulty saying who he replaced although I asked the question.
I think Squire moved from lead to baritone and baritone Eldridge Fox didn't tour as much playing only big dates and doing one song on albums.
Then again, maybe Squire and Hamill traded off between lead and baritone as Hess-Blackwood did in the Masters. Can anyone shed light on that?
Are there many examples of groups in which the lead and baritone regularly switched roles?

I think Hamill was always the lead. When he left to join the Senators, Eldridge stepped in and did more. It seems that Squire and Eldridge took turns on lead and baritone. When Hamill came back Eldridge went back to being featured on 1 or 2 songs a night and Squire returned to the baritone slot. Maybe John or others can share more info.

It was about 60/40 Hamill /Squire when they were together. Squire was featured on most of the "Sugar Sticks". "It made New in Heaven, Upper Window,Just a little closer home" etc.
