I was looking at a couple props today and was curious about a couple things.
Prop A back:

Prop B back:

Prop B front:

One of them (A) appears to have had the splined hub changed?
Prop A also is stamped MICHIGAN and has a number on the back side. Did MW market props cast by Volvo?
The surface that seats on the shoulder of the shaft is about 1/4" deeper in the one without the brass insert (B). Otherwise all the other dimensions match between the two. It's as if the hub was pressed farther into one than the other.
Prop B is supposed (and appears) to be NOS.
Does anyone have any thoughts on these differences they would care to share?
Thanks,
Frank
