I think your right about the date order. Yards for auxiliary square sails initially fitted, dispensed with later, though fore-and-aft sails retained (sometimes set to reduce rolling). Hulls in both pics similar and Sydney photo appears elsewhere on web with caption 'after 1892 lengthening' though other sources refer to her having been rebuilt 1894.

I know nothing at all about sailing but the logic of using fore-and-aft sails to reduce rolling makes good sense to me. Does anyone know how effective this was?
