His original orbital proposal (for Project Orbiter) had something like a
cluster of 37 (!) solids IIRC and the subsequent proposal scaled that back to
15 but larger solids.

That's probably the reason, so the Saturn 1 stage one was before all the
others?
And mentioning von Braun, I heard he would have nothing to do with solids and
he had a lot of clout in those days.

I'm not sure exactly how the 260in solid project began, but there were a
number of concepts for Saturn derivatives using solid first stages, and
the original idea might have been to use it as an S-I replacement. (One
reason for thinking about such things was that many people questioned
whether von Braun could make the S-I's 8-engine cluster work reliably, and
wanted backup plans in case he couldn't.)
