Whilst Eastabout was certainly the primary routing in the years concerned, it's worth mentioning that in the mid/late 60s we had set up the staging posts across North America and the Pacific that provided a Westabout option, and it was exercised annually for some time - Exercise Travelling Causeway is the name I recall.
In 1957 there was a Transport Command detachment at Honolulu, operating what was in effect a Staging Post.
