1st pic is Cyclone (10 spokes in groups of two), 2d pic is Slipstream (10 spokes evenly spaced apart)? Or do I have then backwards?

Cyclone was an "upgraded" wheel that was offered before the nose cone removal (roughly). It was the 1st tier upgrade from the original 6 spoke standard wheel maintaining 19" diameter and a $2500 cost. It was the step right below the 21" Turbine.
Slipstream became the "standard" wheel when the 6-spoke was removed. Cyclone was discontinued around that time I believe.

Cyclone is the top photo.
