Which rear axle? Big Atlas or the baby Atlas (Köln axle)?

In UK I understand the Gomm works
rally shells were based on standard Escort as the strengthening and modifications required were well beyond the normal type 49 shell, so may as well use a standard one. I have no idea what Broadspeed or Zakspeed used for racing but would guess also a modified standard shell.
For the Atlas axle, with the wheel width they were using maybe the full width version would have been too wide, but as brakes were small enough to fit inside rims they could have used wheel offset to get track correct. I think what we now call the 'baby' atlas would have been too narrow. I use the normal wide one.
Maybe from those axle pictures you posted some measurements could be taken!
