Those old Expedition tires were no bigger than a 1-1/4" Pasela, or 1-1/4" World Tour, or 1-3/8" folding Hi-Lite Tour, all are about 32mm upon initial inflation.
I agree with you about the naming-

The Expedition was noticeably bigger than the Touring, which was about the same size as a Pasela 1 1/4".
