Is it me, or does something look funky about the the track length on this one?:

No affiliation, just thought the pic was interesting.

Could it be that it is a 4 roller instead of a 5 roller? Both were factory.
Maybe I missed something in the pic?

It is a 4-roller but look how far the idler support is from the front of the track frame. I have the same UC on my 40c, and mine is like 1" from the front of the frame. I know my pins and bushings are wore, but I would not think they are 8" longer.

You are right.
As for wear, it only takes 1/2 inch over 5 links to be considered 100% worn.
Many of them are running with more wear than that.
Maybe a link was taken out on this one?

I would bet that it has been short tracked due to wear.
