Model B uses the same tube as the late 31 A motor.

Thanks but what i need to know is if the "B" tube is shorter then the "A" tube i know that the diameter on the early tube is 5/16in and the later tube is 3/8in but if you put the "A" tube on a "B" itds lower in the oil pan and deeper in the oil, the "A" tube is approx 3-3/4in what lenght is the "B" tube. Thanks Pete U.K.

I checked 3 model B rear main caps and all use the same tube as the Model A rear main regardless of position in the oil.

I am not too sure that the early drain pipe is lesser in diameter. I just recently pulled a pipe from a very early engine and it was 3/8"
