maybe the intent was to allow one of the keyways to allow for very slightly faster speeds? The flywheel magnets are opposite of each other, so I would suspect that the keyways not being too far off would not pose any major issues on it running, but maybe one is designed so that the magnets line up slightly different. or possibly, they manufactured one keyway and then realized it was a bit off so they then made another across the other side that would work better.
