It does look like there is no taper from top to bottom. If you look at pic 2 of the back of the cab and head, you'll see it looks like the top of the cab is wider than the bottom of the cab. It's just the camera lens distorting perspective to make the cab appear more narrow at the bottom than the top of the cab and head.
We did ask Bud back in 2008 at one of our gatherings, why the difference in tapers from the K200 series and the K250 series, and he said since the K250 amp heads have the taper front the cabs needed to be wider at the top when viewed from the side so the rear of the amp head didn't overhang the top of the cabinet.

You will also find that the K200A series amp heads are about an inch less in depth than the K200B series amp heads.
