Casey is asking what the counterweights on the drivers look like. (do they have pointy ends or squared off ends?

Yes the three engines are outside framed, but the counterweights are on the drivers, not the cranks (where the rods attach). Those cranks are not counterweighted, so the weight have to be on the drivers.

From the photo of 361, I'd say they are crescent moon shaped. (pointy ends)

My humble oppinion,
Phil
