AHB2AHB Bridge verification

Hi,
Currently, I am working on verification of the ahb2ahb bridge, where I encountered an issue with hwstrb.

Scenario: AHB master is of 32 data width and sending a burst incremental 4 transfers to the AHB  slave of 16 data width

                       HADDR                          HWDATA                                  HWSTRB                  HSIZE
Master side :  0x00                                103Fb578                                0001                            0

                       0x01                                00000000                                0100                            0

                       0x02                                AD9833E2                               0001                           0

                       0X03                               31888AFD                                0010                           0


Slave side :  HADDR                           HWDATA                                   HwSTRB                   HSIZE
                     0x00                                b578                                             01                             0
                     0X01                               0000                                             00                              0
                     0X02                               AD98                                            00                              0
                     0X03                               0031                                             00                              0

here, i can observe that hwdata and hwstrb are taking values according offset address like for 0x03 it was taking the 24:31 bits as valid and appending extra zeroes in the slave side ,

in the protocol it was mentioned like for narrow transfers HSIZE && HADDR will decide the active byte lanes ,
-> will it still hold for a byte-addressable memory device as a slave and I want to write into individual address location with a valid strobe , if not what would be the ideal scenario to verify this
-> Is strobe always aligned with hsize and haddr (here i was used strobe according to hsize only )


Thanks in advance .
