Default Aust BGC production differences

While working on my front stub axle mounting plates I noticed a difference between some of the plates and thought I would share it with others.
I have come across 3 different plates- see the pics.
The red plate appears to be original and not a modified or butchered plate.
I have several of each (except for the red plate) L & R, so they are not one off items.

this thread may prompt others to share some production changes/differences- so post away!

I know there is some variation on stowage boxes and the mounting of the locking latches.

Default Front Hubs

There is also a cast version for the Local Pattern carriers, similar to the Canadian and English carriers. Axle pin presses in like the cast ones.

Default jack bracket differences

Dale's thread/question as prompted me to add these pics with the jack bracket.
Notice the difference in locking nut or wing nut.

The green unit is on my hull VR731, the rusty unit is from un unknown hull, possibly VR and very early.
