Very strange question about item icons. Can someone explain?

I was looking through match history and noticed something about the items. And i could not figure out why it's like this.

Certain items like All have white triangles on each corner of the item icon.

But other items don't . Can someone explain why it is like this? I'm sure there is a reason/common denominator between these items. I just can't figure it out!

It's left over from two shops ago; items had larger borders then, which extended a little onto the icons. When the shop changed, the borders changed, but the icons (and the little corners) remained.

Well. This isn't an exhaustive list, but the first three are all very old icons, while the second group of three is of much newer icons.

It's possible the corner markings used to be something they did for icons but eventually stopped.
