Idlers lighter
The idlers should be a shade lighter than the roadwheels as the book states they are smaller in diameter

wheel sizes
Yes, they are different, but its in the thickness of the rubber, and I think there is more than one size for the idler.

Steel idlers?
Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't there an all steel idler specified for the universal carriers as well ?
The diameter difference may also help explain the replacement of my road wheels in service with modified Local Pattern wheels while still retaining the original british rubber shod idlers. I have found the (very scant) remains of a second british carrier - well actually only a few loose parts, which also had the retrofit and modified Australian Pattern roadwheels so I should be able to cobble together a just passable set until I find the originals... Cheers Phill
