Would the 6 speed transaxles come with 1 inch hubs or 1 1/8 inch hubs?

All the 1967 to 1969 SIX speeds I've seen had 1 1/8" axles. 

 

8 speeds did have both.

I have never understood this 6-speed 8-speed description.

What 2 speeds does one have or not have over the other?

@stevasaurus can explain it better than me. Basically it's a marketing issue from back in the day but also they were actually different. The brake drum was attached to a different point.

Gear ratios are identical though.
