  A nematic order in stripe-ordered cuprates was recently identified with (001)
reflection at resonant energies associated with the in-plane states. However,
whether this resonant reflection is ubiquitous among all 214 cuprates is still
unknown. Here we report a Resonant soft X-ray Scattering (RXS) measurement on
two La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$CuO$_{4+y}$ crystals. Charge order was found in
La$_2$CuO$_{4+y}$ with a total hole concentration near 0.125/Cu but no
measurable (001) peak at any resonance, while in a
La$_{1.94}$Sr$_{0.06}$CuO$_{4+y}$ sample near 0.16/Cu a (001) peak resonant was
identified to be consistent with the presence of LTT tilting. The lack of such
a (001) peak in a compound with stripe-like charge order raises questions about
nematicity and the origin of the scattering feature.
