The Titan IIIA had introduced with it it's third stage, called the "Transtage". It used two of the AJ10-138's to push into orbit and beyond.
However, when making a Transtage upper stage, it is very noticeable how small the engines just are compared to the stage, the nozzle is just too short. This wasn't an issue back when Short and Long nozzles weren't separated, so here's a solution:

AJ10-138 gets a long nozzle model, but AJ10-118F remains with the same, very short nozzle model.
OR
Both Long and Short unlock in the same node, however AJ10-138 is now in the Long variant (it's later upgrades wouldn't be unlocked until the 80's tech nodes) and Short only has 2 upgrades (That being the AJ10-118F and 133-LH)

Here's a comparison between my Transtage and the real Transtage:
