Happy 4th!

Can anyone tell me if these wings are in fact Sparcraft version 2 wings? In my previous thread regarding a cracked rib gusset I never really posted full wing photos and after doing a little research regarding Falcon wings I’ve read that the Falcon wing had a solid plywood covering between the ribs at the I-Strut attach point on both upper and lower wings. These wings do have this plywood. Did the Sparcraft wings also have this solid plywood at this location?

I’ve also read the Falcon wing could be either fully plywood covered or fabric.

Pictures attached.

The log book entry for the wing change just says “replaced both upper and lower wings” in 1999-2000
