While Colt factory conversions were without loading levers with cartridge ejectors,most people in Old West did not send Colt to factory to convert,they were converting them at gunsmiths,and they started gunsmith converting as early in the Civil War.And those gunsmiths did not have cartridge ejectors,so they kept loading lever.
And another option to leave loading lever were so called "Thuer conversions" , which were very rare,and they appeared as early in the late 1850's.They used cartridges without rims and they used loading lever to seat that cartridges,but it was much faster than loading with loose black powder.
