Comparing 9.3>61 and 26.2>22, what’s the difference?

I am struggling to see the difference between 9.3 and 26.2, probably because both involve broken axles under a cart. My shorthand tends to be “situation blocked, can’t take action for now” for both of them. I am posting the Legge translation for a rebellious change from Wilhelm :)

26.2>22
26 controlled power - and accumulation of power
Line 2: Legge: “The second line, dynamic, shows a carriage with the strap under it removed.”
22: superficial grace

9.3>61
9: passive restraint
Line 3: Legge “The third line, dynamic, suggests the idea of a carriage, the strap beneath which has been removed, or of a husband and wife looking on each other with averted eyes.”
61: inner truth

The only difference I can see is that in 9.3, there is an added bit about a disagreement between partners about this situation.

Does anyone have thoughts or insights about the different nuances?
