I tend to concur. ;‑)
I read relevant tutorials / guides, looked deeper at the source code and
did some tests.
The "Customizing OpenOffice.org" guide [1] for version 1.1 states:

The OOo Help provides similar information.
It works exactly like described above. The version 1.1.5, unlike the newer
versions of the suite,
does not display the "Import" button. It allows you to reset the selected
icon to the default icon
via the "Default" button.
.
A change in the layout of the dialog probably happened in version 2.0
(I failed to find any version earlier than 2.2).

Czesław
