Maybe the largest size is a different shape. It looks more rounded all along the bottom to me. I like the other shape better.

Wayfarers refers to the lens being surrounded by plastic more than it does to the exact shape of the glasses. So its possible that their are different versions, sizes and shapes of them.

There are different Wayfarer models. You got the ones that don't have that angular shape and they're based on the original version from back in the 50's.
