The difference in averages wouldn't be from actual maximum possible ages, it would be from the higher mortality rate of WCs. Kind of like how even in the middle ages, there were still occasionally people who lived to be a hundred, but there were so many who died much younger than they should have that it took the average down to about thirty.
