By the time of the Canocial Five the Ripper has changed to another M.O namely strangulation and then throat cutting once the victim was lowered to the ground. His M.O is by then fairly well established.
The Signature of the Ripper would be the abdominal mutilations and the raising of clothing in order to display the victim in a shocking manner. He did not do this with Stride but interruption or threat of interruption can be a reason for this. It is one of the reasons I see Alice McKenzie as a victim. The displaying of her following the attack with skirts raised is very much a Ripper signature.
