King pins

Can anyone tell me the difference between Model A and Model B (1932) king pins? My car has 1935 front brakes on Model A axle and spindles. Seems to work OK with Model A king pins, but I see there is a difference in part number between 1931 and 1932. Thanks for your help.
 
The head of the kingpin on the A is offset toward the front of the car.On the 32 it is offset toward the rear.That is because on the A the little brake operating lever sticks up,and pulls back.On the 32 the little lever hangs down and is pulled back.
 
Model A brake rods are parallel with the frame and 32 rods angle to the center of the vehicle. The king pin heads are angled to match.
