It’s not unusual to find later model parts used as replacements on early A models.The early (1921-1923) models all had nickle plated drive shaft tubes,but many were replaced with the later nickle plated brass ones because of rust damage.The steering rails and tiller handles,carbs,carb levers,gas bowl nut and fuel line are also often later replacements/upgrades.That being said,who knows what happened to left over parts when change over to new model production occurred.
