And, 4401 is out right now. Heading west to Long Branch currently
Makes sense, I believe when the wires are strictly for Panto they are designed to move back and forth to wear the contact more slowly.
You don't wire a system that uses pantographs with perfectly straight contact wires. You wire them in a zigzag pattern.Nitpick - the wires are relatively rigid, it’s the alignment of the panto that can be variable, as the car rocks and rolls down the track.. Same benefit, just a different source of the motion.

The only difference between the current one and the one you showed seems to be in the modules without boogies (wheels) instead of seats against both walls one of them has four facing each other
Should the TTC put in a new order for more streetcars (60-100) after COVID-19, maybe they will include a different seating rearrangement.
Based on designs of other manufactures and systems I have rode, very little different, even going to 70% low floor for seating arrangement. The seats to the left are used for bike, strollers and accessibility and that not going to change for TTC.
