Quite possible they are not... the picture provides little in the way of visual clues as to the depth of mounting...Wish we had a better pix of the installed components!
However, if the right reel
did clear the side panel, the overhang could make it difficult to operate some of the controls.
The good news is that the small 8" reels provide 90 minutes of play time, so perhaps that was deemed "long enough".

NICE!!
Solid is an understatement... My 660 weighs in at an arm-stretching 95 lbs!
