Default Character stats in paragraphs

I own a copy of GURPS Vikings, 2nd Edition, but I just had the opportunity to look at the first edition of the book. One thing that I found in the older edition was a sample character, Thorolf Einarsson. The presentation is unlike anything I've ever seen in a GURPS book. The character's features are described in paragraph format instead of stat blocks or a character sheet, with point costs in parentheses next to each feature. The paragraphs are headed by the usual sections: advantages, disadvantages, and so on.

Has any other GURPS book presented characters in this way?

I poked around a few of my older books, but Vikings was the only place I've seen that format.
