Those frames tend to be small and the stems tend to sit low for an adult rider, so the extra rise of the 7881 bars is popular for bringing the grips up to a comfortable place.
The Continental/tourist bars do well with one of the medium or taller double-adjustable stems (as on the '40s Continentals), or a tall razor stem, but yes I agree they're kind of uncomfortable with a short stem (they tend to sit kind of flat and forward, and they're kind of narrow, which is not helpful for an adult rider on a smaller frame).
Sorry for the digression. Just interesting how many of the taller and later bars were retrofitted to make bikes more comfortable.
