Default Hadley Appinine Site

The other day I was flipping through a book at BAM, "Apollo: The Lost Missions". It had maps of what would have been the landing sites for A-18,19 and 20. I noticed that one of the missions would have been a return to the Hadley Appininne area, explored earlier by A-15. I thought it odd that NASA would send another mission to explore an area that had been visited before, especially since A-15 was one of the more advanced J missions. Does anyone know if there is anything special about that area that would have warrented another mission to that area, if the Apollo program had been allowed to proceed with the Lost Missions?

The impression I get from this page and this page is that you might be looking at an old schedule: yes, Apollo 19 was scheduled for Hadley, but that was before the last three missions were cancelled, when Apollo 15 was still an "H" mission targeted for Censorinus. When that happened, Hadley was made the destination for Apollo 15 since it remained a high-priority target.

Maybe NASA wanted to save some money and reuse the old backdrops and props that they used to fake A-15. kidding, don't stone me.
