Does anybody know whether the Chinese Type 59 has the larger wheel hubs of the front two wheels seen on the T-55 ?

Or are all the wheel hubs the same ?
(which I think is the case from looking at pictures on the web, but most seem to be either too small or at the wrong angle to be certain)

It seems that all hubs have the same size. Check simmilar pics of Russian T-55, you'll still notice the larger hub on first road wheel, but not on Chinese Type 59/69. Best regards.

Thanks for that, I thought it looked that way but it's nice to get some confirmation before reaching for the glue!
