In accordance with https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Script#Constants, for knowledge between 1-75 bytes, the size byte is straight appended to the info, with none OP_PUSHDATA op-codes.

Nonetheless, I observed that in lots of coinbase transactions, there exists OP_PUSHDATA1 for knowledge lower than 76 bytes.

Are each methods of encoding knowledge between 1~75 bytes appropriate, with and with out OP_PUSHDATA1?

For instance, within the final output of transaction 2c1f1797e05d0b16c0a0aa03985a47920275ffb080439614ef08b7ee019b9511,
the 41 (0x29) bytes knowledge 52534b424c4f434b3a4cf1e3f3539bb748501d706ad13227e5eb123b2f226f03d735001321004c43f7 was encoded as:

6a4c2952534b424c4f434b3a4cf1e3f3539bb748501d706ad13227e5eb123b2f226f03d735001321004c43f7

as a substitute of

6a2952534b424c4f434b3a4cf1e3f3539bb748501d706ad13227e5eb123b2f226f03d735001321004c43f7

Beneath is the Bitcoin transaction in query:
