https://www.google.com/maps/@39.9561738,-86.1623079,150a,35y... is a "standard" two lane roundabout. Roundabouts like https://www.google.com/maps/place/Minneapolis,+MN/@44.883386... are more similar to a turbo roundabout but does not force traffic out after 3 exits or less, the inner lane could be followed indefinitely.

On that second link, I don't see any roundabout at all. It looks like a regular intersection to me.

Maybe the aerial imagery is out of date? It looks like a regular intersection on the satellite view, but Google Maps has it marked as a roundabout.

This is interesting, I seem to be getting newer aerial imagery than either of you https://i.imgur.com/tC6fsQm.jpg

If you switch to globe view, the image changes.

Yep that's it, globe view has the newer image and legacy mode has the older image.
