Well, that's comforting to know, not really observant as such, but its the only way a non-expert "Bren Carrier" person like me can readily identify a T16 from the others, the Windsor especially which does have the springs arranged like this; the picture as sent just showed the hint of something different and I just had to see what was really going on.

The apprentice theory is a good one, do you think perhaps this is why Bovington's KK has the right side tracks on backwards, dissimilar roadwheels side to side, and hacksawed-off rear bars? Since it was captured undamaged after some 2 weeks service with the Wehrmacht and pristine when originally placed in the museum, this is strange. I digress, sorry.
