Here is an example of crimped axle-ends on the 'Yesteryear' Y-3 Riley 'MPH' shown in the 1973 pocket catalogue and this was not the only model in the same catalogue with them, so yes as "tjlglass" says, crimped axles were for quickness.

NOT suggesting anything like that here as R&D would probably have assembled it on a bench
just an observation
very interesting model Numi , nice find

and im still reeling from excitement...really!I just found another casting difference and added the pic to my initial post for your viewing that shows the "Superfast" logo on the Prepro appears a bit more inwards/to the right.

OK Reg...
Y-2 Vauxhall Prince Henry.
Y-4 Opal.
Y-5 Peugeot.
Y-14 Stutz Bearcat.
Y-15 Packard.
Y-16 Mercedes SS.
...are easily seen and maybe the Y-17 Hispano Suiza, as that was a brand new model addition.
