The pictures and descriptions for parts 33299 and 61408 are reversed in the catalog.
I know this because I have some parts with part# 30299 stamped on them - these
parts have the extra elongated hole next to the pin.
I also have parts with NO elongated hole next to the pin - none of them have
part numbers (but since they're different from the p/n 33299's that have
a part# on them, I have to assume that they are p/n 61408.)

I turned a p/n 61408 over and discovered an elongated "hole" that doesn't
go through and through on the reverse side (i.e. the side opposite of where the
pin sticks out).

So...
Part# 33299 has an open elongated hole next to the pin that goes all the way
through.
Part# 61408 has a blind elongated hole that you can only see from the non-pin
side.
I think my description is a bit confusing, but I can't think of how to clarify.
Feel free to ask questions. I'd really like to get this corrected in the
catalog!!

The difference isn’t in the axle holes, it’s in the pin hole.

33299 has a round pin hole in which you can slide a 3.18 bar.

61408 has a square pin hole in which you can’t slide a 3.18 bar.

As for axle holes, 33299 has two versions: with an open axle hole or a closed
one.  But that is not a functionnal difference, so it’s only one entry in the
catalogue.
