You claim that all maniraptoriformes had full wings. Paravians seemed to, but what evidence is there for Therizinisaurs and Ornithomimisaurs? An Ornithomimid preserves fuzz on the ulna and radius, but not the hand. And Beipiaosaurus fossil doesn't seem to have full wings either, only along the arm. Am I looking at it wrong? Remember the site where you got the Tyrannosaur skin impressions from? That site (Known Integument in Non-Avian Coelurosaurs. From the Hell Creek forums)
This is....a very good question, and I’d like to thank you for making me question why I’ve been saying what I’m saying. 
Basically - one of the ornithomimid juveniles preserves fuzz on the metacarpal, so it did at least have some feathers on the hand. The exact nature of this isn’t really known; however, since we don’t have any good evidence of wings (or wing-like structures/pennibrachiae) that exclude the hand, we assume for the moment that their wings included the hand. Therizinosaurs, then, are inferred to have had similar wings due to phylogenetic bracketing.
TL;DR: We don’t have evidence that their wings were different.
