tried to get some good pictures of the interior variations.
first, front brace + no guides (doesn‘t have the label guides on the outside), front brace with guides and no front brace with guides.

the difference with the side brace and corner pillars.

these also have the two or three braces between wheel wells with round or plastic interior wheel arches.
with small differences on the out side
these have the label/decal side guides with long and short ladder supports, also on the sf versions.

the rw refuse truck was one of many rw that had the thin and thick black fine tread tires with rounded and straight cut treads.

I have noticed these thicker bpw on my no 4 Dodge stake trucks (did it come with thin tyres too?) but not on other trucks commonly found with normal thickness bpw.Thicker tyres improve the look of the 7 - wheels look a bit small given the larger size on the 70 looking just right heightwise if a little thin (70 SF looks just right to my eyes)

all of my stake trucks have the thick size too.
a small quick but not complete list. :)
#14 bedford ambulance (later).
#20 erf every ready with grey plastic.
#13 dodge bp wrecker.
#10 pipe truck.
here is a pipe truck with a combination of sizes, having square and curved cut treads on both thick and thin tires.
