Not sure how this would have happened. Not enough gap for the wheel to come off the axle.

the axle looks to be below the body...i suspect the riveted end wasnt very good and the wear on the wheel hole made it easy for the wheel to slide off the axle

I don't think that's a mistake. All of the models with axles bellow the finder skirts have unfinished axle ends.
Most have the copper colored axles. Please see. Photo.
