Look carefully those input circuits are the same. The only difference is NPN vs PNP input transistor.
In circuit from #19 fig3 the Q1 DC current start flowing from Vcc --- TR2 (MJ480) --->R3----> enters emitter of a 3906----> 8.2K to GND.
Now for the circuit from post 16 we have this path for DC current:
Vcc--->R2---->VT1---->R6--->R9---->Q2---GND.
PS I find another example
