Starboard main undercarriage assembly with another landing light mounted to the leg. 

Close-up of the leg on the opposite side... 

...and the inner side of the  starboard one.

The wheel well  is full of plumbing and cabling. Unlike other inner surfaces, wheel wells are painted in the same gray shade as the undercarriage itself.

Main wheel detail... 

...and more detail... 

The last photo of this section shows  the hydraulics in extended position just before landing.
