Hi Tim,
2 years ago I tried to get historical STEEM 2 MVEST Ratios, based on Powerdowns.
First withdraw from vesting happend in block 908456
If you look into the table below, STEEM/MVEST changed from 63.4 to 120.0 within one month.

I assume that in the first month (from 31th of March till 25th of April) this ratio has changed dramatically. So the first PowerUp of 8071 STEEM to ben has transformed into a huge VEST stake https://steemd.com/tx/9d83a22907ea6a58c887ac4e15173e6363ee9d7b
I think one should make a replay of the chain and print out the steem/vest ratio for each block, than we will know more.
RE: A second try to get some clarity - how exactely did the early whales get their massive Steem Power
