Inside - Outside circle - Reverse turns

Correct me if Im wrong, in the Reverse Turn in Waltz, the person moving backwards (ladies in 1-2-3; gents on 4-5-6) are 'inside' the rotational circle, hence not making as large a step as the person 'outside' the circle.

Now is this also true with the Reverse Turn (outside step) in Tango? In Tango, I feel there is more of a progressive movement along with the turn, making it harder for me to feel who is actually in the inner/outer circle of the turn (or is there even a real rotation there?)

Comments?

The inside/outside of turn difference really only applies as an intent to the first step, though the second steps will be different as consequence. There's little difference between the partners on the third step.

In a foot closure turn the third step doesn't really feature moving, beyond full arrival of the body over the position marked by the foot on the second step. But when the foot passes for the third step, both bodies move - and move the same amount.
