Schwitzer "whistler" turbo 3lj-319 question

I'm looking at a NOS Schwitzer turbo that has some of the vanes thicker than the others. Knowing not a whole lot about turbos in general and the whistler in particular, I figured I'd see if I could enlist the help of some experts...or at least those of you that know far better than I. Is this normal or is there something hinky about it?

I just happen to have mine out to drill and tap holes in the exhaust to add EGT thermocouples. I have 3 or 4 wider fins similar to your picture. You may want to discuss with a local turbo expert, or just get on with it. All I can say is mine looks the same and it works fine!
