My guess is the center wheel set would slide crosswise to follow the curve. Am I correct?

The "Umbauwagen" (conversion coaches) did do exactly that for the centre axle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umbau-Wagen

The center axle was added to handle the extra payload and passengers.Two per set, coupled together. Either center double port entrance or single port entrance at each end.
