Front shock arm differences

[A31Woody]

Just noticed I have two different front shock arm styles. One has lettering on it (similar to the rear arms) the other has no lettering and what appears to be a seam in the back. The letterless one is also bent differently. I'm assuming the letter-less one is a repro. Correct?

Both look to be originals. right one earlier, left one is later. What is your build date?
Judging standards will show the correct ones for your year.

Interesting... it's a March '31. Not a fine point restoration. Doing a preservation / driver...

If a driving "A" and not going to be judged, why spend the money for the correct arms ?

I myself have a couple of driving "A's" but for me, even though they will not be judged, I like to have everything correct for the month and year of the "A".

You will have to make the decision !!!!
