I guess the output stage are different as one of the envelop drives the VCA and might need to go below 0V so the VCA is completely shut off.
Looking at the schematic, VCF EG gores from +0.1V to +4V when the VCA EG goes from -0.3V to 4.5V.

My 2 cents.

> I've been looking at the Minimoog service manual and I can't figure out why they designed the filter EG slightly differently to the VCA EG. The sustain level section and the output are different. Also the resistor going from the output to flip flop reset input is lower in value, so I guess the attack level would be lower than for the VCA EG, and this is why they adjusted the sustain circuit, but I don't know why they changed the output buffer.
