Communication Breakdown
Back the pioneering days of Classic Space, fast, high capacity data links had yet to be invented. Messages, such as engineering drawings, were sent from the Earth to the Moon via fax. This could lead to files having missing or corrupted sections.
One such damaged transmission resulted in this version of the 886 rover. Lacking the bottom part of the drawings, the engineers attached the four wheels in the way that they thought best.
It is also interesting to note that this spaceman is toting a highly illegal "sawn-off" version of the "torch".
