However there are still several occurances of snails "passant" on the O&A.

Nope; the blazon was changed by Laurel to eliminate the "rampant" term. 
It appears that snails don't have postures, heraldically speaking.

(For the record, it was argued in commentary that said snail should be 
"statant", as ALL of its feet were on the ground.)
