Flathead bearing numbers...

Can anyone here help with this info? I'm trying to match (cross-reference) some rod bearings for my engine. The reference numbers I've found state that the bearings are to replace Ford bearing part # 81A-6211-A5. In the Ford book I have, I only see # 81A-6211-A, -C, -F, -M, -Q, -V, and -KK (not A5). Another bearing references to Ford part # 81A-6211-A2, which makes me wonder; is there a difference between the -A2 and -A5 designation? If so, what do the numbers mean?

Thanks in advance for your help!
 
Mate ,Im fairly sure that the 5 after the A is to identify the material of the bearing.the size A means std rod and std journal.
