Narrow, Mid, or Wide glide?

Narrow, Mid, or Wide glide?
I am trying to weight out all of my options to get a wider front end on my 07 SG and need a little more info on Triple tree size. I was looking on Ebay for a set of Wide Glide trees and found what the seller was claiming to be for a Wide Glide, but he was not sure. He told me that the measurements are 8-1/2" center of hole to center. I measured my stock 07 Sg and mine has the same measurements. Did the 07 SG come with narrow or mid glide trees? I thought it was a narrow, but now I am confused. I know it has the 49mm forks, but beyond that I am not sure. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Maybe someone smart can clear the air.

The 07 dyna's came with 49mm fork tubes the large fork tubes and the MID glide front ends going up to a wide glyde front in on an 07 dyna is only going to change the front end by like 1 inch or 1.5 inchs. I have an 07 FXDC and just put on a wide glide windshield i bought off craigslist i had to make spacers for it that were 3/4 inch so i had to make up for a 1.5 inch difference. Alot of money to spend for that difference. Now if i had the older narrow glide front end with the smaller fork tubes and even narrower width then i would consider it someday but i don't plan on any change with my bike being there is not much difference. I think most are making this change so they can run the wide glide tire up front but i could be wrong. But i do know that iam right on the width is only 1.5 inch difference between the mid glide 07s and the wideglides.

Here is a picture of my bike on the left 07 FXDC with mid glide front end and my uncles bike on the right narrow glide 04 lowrider.

Yep. Clearly my 99 FXD is like the narrow glide on the right.
Wow the mid looks a lot wider.
I assume the tubes are smaller on the older Narrow glides?
So if I wanted to change things, I would need new tubes in addition to the trees?
Thanks
