how many wheels?

In April of 2003 I bought a box of second-hand Lego that contained a large number of (almost) complete late 60's and 70's sets: two big trucks (331 and 337), seven Legoland 'miniwheel' vehicles and one building (346, very nice).
One of the vehicles is the double tanker truck, 644, from 1971. But when I built it from the scans on Brickshelf, I noticed something strange: the number of wheels is not consistent on images of this set. The instructions and a Danish ad show 4 wheel bricks, but several other sources suggest that there should be 5...
