is this a 'fatty' ? ( mid-year steering wheel)

is this a 'fatty' carrera wheel or just a regular leather covered wheel. was on my SC but pretty sure it wasn't original to it. thanks, Don.

definitely not a "fatty" Carrera wheel, but a nice wheel, looks original to an SC.

What is noteworthy is a fatty has a bottom spoke as long as the side spokes, the leather covered part, because the horn pad sits in the middle (hub centric) and not lower than center like on non-fatty wheels, also it is thicker in the grip, obviously
