I haven't changed my view:
There are lots of reasons to have a sloping top tube, or a small front wheel, or bullhorns, but none of them on their own is definitive of a Low Profile, and a lo-pro can be built with equal sized wheels and a horizontal top tube, see Тахион. The only true lo-pro is a bike which replicates the hand position of the bottom of a drop bar by lowering the handlebar clamp enough to switch from drops to a bull horn.
I know it's a cross bike, but it's the only comparative photo I have to overlay. I think it shows the Shorter replicates the drop position, and has the same size wheels.
I've included the 2 original pictures and the overlay.
