I've never noticed that they were different wings before. The sligs didn't get much luck with their equipment in AE, did they? I mean, there's the wings fiasco, and their new two-eyed masks were prvided because the old visor lead to high suicide rates.
Though that could have simply been Abe possessing them...
"No mamby-pampy modoken meat puppet is gona make me look like a fool!
We'll catch that traitor Abe, or my name ain't...er...er..."
"It's Dripik, sir."
" Dripik!!!. I, uh...I knew dat. Yeah, I-I knew dat."

Although the other way of looking at it is to say that all their faulty equipment was replaced in AE, so they are better off now.
The Slig Barracks has never been used in actual warfare. Masses of temporary structures built apon each other, it shows how Dripik is very self proclamated and cowardly.
I got that (not an exact quote, evidently) from the 1o years Art of Oddworld book.
But how can he be a Ganeral he is too much of a coward to fight and he cant be a military stragist because he is too stupid. He even has trouble remembering his own name(but most of us knew that already)
He was probably a reasonably successful/lucky glukkon businessman that was rewarded with a cushy job. Welcome to the world of middle management, where being good at the job is less important than looking like you know what you're talking about.
