I could swear that the right main on that thing was thicker..

Obviously, the thing was staged to show they could do it. :)  .. from a simpler era, when they just did things.

Well, it looked to me like the RH wheel was a solid disk style, and the new LH wheel was a wire style. As long as it rolls, and holds up the axle, it will do the job.

Yeah, besides that solid vs. spoke, but that part I had to figure that the solid rimmed wheel would not be as handy to fool around with in the airflow like that.
