I agree those look like well crafted wheels. The lump of solder on the non screw wheel may be of some concern though. My guess the two screws are for removing the wheel, take both screws out and install a two longer screws and tighten and they push wheel off axle. They also may be to facilitate in attaching a wheel puller of some kind to remove wheel. Very nice.

Your guess of the two screws are for removing the wheels appears to be wrong.  As the original wheels have odd shaped hubs to hold the gears on to the wheels, these two screws obviously are to hold the gears on the wheels, as they only appear on the geared side of the engine.
