If the reduced bore engine, it might have been fitted with Model T pistons. Someone more familiar with the two Model A engine variants AND the Model T engine could verify this thought.
Ford didn't waste a thing. And doubtless Ford storage was filled with cast iron Model T pistons.
Vince Falter ( www.fordgarage.com) has an extensive write-up on engine numbering and the prefixes that might (but not always) accompany a "small bore" (14.9hp) engine. http://www.fordgarage.com/pages/ABenginenumbers.htm

I know Lawrie and if it was a small bore engine, he would have said so. I have never heard of one of those engines being in this country. I'd take it as beoing an standard A engine.
