I found a page on #BPCL history, and the byte-access operator was an introduction at some later stage. Didn't see a timeline as such. But I think of classic BCPL as being strongly word-oriented.

"Later a byte subscription operator (%) was added eliminating the need for the library functions getbyte(s,i) and putbyte(s,i,x)."
Thing is I haven't had to use a byteless BCPL!
