Vintage Poulan Guide bar design

[lorovesgo]

hi, i have a question about this vintage bar design poulan chainsaws used to have, every time i see photos of this design, its on the right side of the bar, is this because there is nothing on the left side? it could be a coincidence, but you never know, so if any of you more knowledgable on the topic can shed some light, i would be really greatful.

Thank you for your time!

were Pioneer bars manufactured by the same factory that made the poulan bars?

even if not, its nice to have a different brand doing the same thing, good way to build probability

hi there, im just gonna update tis thread for those in the future who have the same question, the answer is yes, the vintage design was also present on the left side of the guide bar, i will attach proof that comes directly from a poulan magazine.
