Of course the 300 Wby is not the 300 or 375 H&H... but the 300 Wby is BASED on the H&H case therefore it has the belt. As I mentioned, the 375 H&H is the grandfather of almost every belted magnum there is. Roy Weatherby simply blew out the shoulders and case walls of a 300 H&H case to make the 300 Wby.
I'm not certain why you think Wby added extra headspace at the case shoulder because he did not. Any case will have some space at the shoulder if your chamber is a bit oversize or you are resizing your brass too much by bumping the shoulder back further than it needs to be. In that case you will get a lot of case stretch but with proper resizing you shouldn't.
