OK, 115 on the left of all photos.
It's the 115 with the "Wings" decal that I cleaned the paint from the bed.
Bobbin / Hook area (notice that the bed height is different on the 115. It looks strictly because the hook is smaller, the 15 rests on its hook assembly. The 115 does not. :

Tensioners (note the bar that was mentioned earlier, and the adorned faceplate (which my 1936 15 had also)):

Underbits (Sorry, camera was unwilling today)

A close up of the bobbin winder on the 115 (I don't have to manually hold it, adjusted correctly, it's "automatic" like the others - ie. disengages when the bobbin is full and everything) It's a hybrid between the 15 style, and a VS style with the "dial" that travels around. :

A shot of the stitch length. It pushes up and down to adjust. I can't figure out why the knob turns too, it's not in the manual IIRC. Also note, the 115 has a spoked wheel because it was a treadled (this is how it was when the previous owner got it) or hand crank model. Model 15s that are treadled or hand cranked will also have the spoked wheel. Ditto 201s, 66s, etc.

Reason: Info about spoked wheels / correction about resting on the hook assemblies
