  The latter observation done at expected mid-eclipse.  This observation very
likely suggests that eclipses become shallower during outbursts.

  We observed during the 1987 outburst (during the fading branch) several
eclipses, which were seen as broad, shallow features (published in VSOLJ
Variable Star Bulletin).  The full data are available from

  Hope this information helps.
