Unless I have the dynamics all wrong the front splines would normally
show less wear when compared to the rear.  The front wires will move in
the oppostie directon on the hubs only when the brakes are applied while
reversing.  As this is normally done at low speeds, there might be no
movement at all.

But as Bill points out there is more movement at the rear because of the
power on, off, and braking.  That would cause faster wear than at the
front.
