Because it's in what looks like a Kenmore cabinet. See how sharp the corners of the cabinet are? How the machine corners are rounded? The machine that fits this cabinet would have the sharp corners and have a large enough bed to fill the cabinet cut out. The Singer doesn't have that large of a bed because it's a machine that can be put into a treadle cabinet. The bed is shorter at the right side of the machine in order for the treadle belt to clear the bed.
