Designations
Correct me if I am wrong, but the designation "LP2" refers to the carrier as fitted with a 1938 Ford axle, which has a splined pinion.
Designation "LP2A" refers to a carrier fitted with a 1940 Ford axle, which has a pinion finished with a taper and keyway.
My understanding is that these differences are the PRIMARY reason for the two designations.
It then follows that the two axles have mounting variations, and that other changes were tied in with the axle update(for example, shifting the tools from the side to the rear)
Have I got it right?
