Just checked with Pete Ashby as per the suggestion above. He replied:

The 2C1 bows are different as they are semi permanently fixed with screw attached side bars the 2B1 bars are just plain hoops without side bar attachments.
Also compare with another early body like the 3C1 GS body: 30-cwt - 3 ton 3C1 GS Steel body (Q.M.G.). This body has hoops without stabilising side bars, too.
