It seems to me that if the wire is just garden variety copper and it doesn't have any special geometry or covering then just about any similar wire would be equivalent. This reminds of the White Lightning Moonshine fad of a few years ago in which you'd use
Woods Yard Master Patio Cord from from Walmart for speaker cables. I tried those and they did work well but not spectacularly in my system. They were cheap though. :)
IMO the WLM would be better because they're not tinned.

The vintage WE wire has a particular sound to it which I like better than typical ofc copper/pvc. It makes for great budget cables... except for IC cables imo. For speaker and power cable it performs ok.

Since you apparently haven't heard the WE 16 ga, your speculations are not constructive.
