Wegener(1915) also managed to get it close to circular.
Du Toit(1937) Smith and Hallam (1970), Tarling (1972) and Powell et al (1980) seem to have made it a bit more elliptical.
​
An eliptical shape would be more in keeping with the method of formation I have suggested.
​
JM: A better description would be C-shaped.

There are also the Grenville Orogeny (that John has alluded to) and Pan-African orogenies in the Precambrian.
