I am not sure on 28/29 vehicles, but on 30/31 Model A's the tire valve stem is at 2 o'clock when mounted in a front fender. I expect that a 28/29 would be the same. The picture is from my Victoria.

Re: AA Truck serial number .
It may have to do with where it was assembled. Maybe in England they did not stamp the heavy commercial frame with the AA.
