Odd rear axle

The rear axle that came with my 1933 14hp Pilot is a bit of an odd one. It has a filler at the back, which is correct for a 1933 Pilot but it also has a filler on the passenger side, which would be correct for a 1934 car. The nose is the same pattern as a 1934 car, not correct for a 1933 car. The most obvious answer is that at some time a slightly later diff has been fitted without changing the rear plate but I would like to hear from anyone who has another theory.

Hi Stewart,

I think you have the correct answer, cannot see any other solution.
