Bruce, Where did you find this in the parts book?

Rather inferred, wouldn't you agree? Why would a Canadian GM factory parts book make reference to parts used on a UK or 'after market' conversion? The heater assembly is quite detailed to be discussed if it was a conversion.
I recall (but am too lazy to check) that the introduction in the MBC1 and MBC2 manuals also talks about HUA versions. Why would they do this alongside HUP'a and HUW's in a 1942 factory pub?
Last, have a look at the HUP section in Bill Gregg's CMP profile series.
