Great catch, I couldn't load a hi res picture earlier and missed that entirely.
In that case, I would maybe be concerned about "toe-in" on the bearing blocks, where human error results in the blocks not being perfectly concentric / aligned, hurting efficiency. But that fear is probably not a huge concern since a lot of teams do this without problems.
