pre 2004 front wheel drives needed the lever pressing down in order to get past the reverse block
post 2004 the design was changed and the press down was deleted.
rear wheel drive has never needed the reverse block on either 5 or 6 speed.

I'll add my bit...
I do have to push down on my 2001 Tourneo but recently had a 2006 Tourneo on hire that I didnt have to push down.
I reckon the man in-charge of gearboxes at Fords just chops and changes depending on the mood he is in
