I think the one that normally is used on a J30 is the top one. so the bottom one was for the second.
That being said ... note first photo in this thread ... I think that is mast for #349 last year winter storage, and it appears he is using the bottom ...
505 and 526 I am sure used the top one for the original spin halyard.
so far we just use one for port pole and the other for starboard pole ... I'm not noticing any fraying on the line ... we haven't got our skill levels up here yet to do a peel. and the wind has been a bit too high. We don't do a lot of "skying" so I am at a loss to figure out that term used here.
I just checked my original 505 box, also photos above, and it does seem that the top inside edge of the J29 box is indented where the halyard would run out which was not on the original box of 505.
Other than that it looks exactly the same as the one pictured from the J29
