The Model A in the UK was sold with a small 2 litre engine, because of our taxation system, so that was an AF. If you had a truck it was an AA if it had the 'proper' big engine, but an AAF with the small engine. The 32 Car (Model 18) was sold with a B version of the small engine as ABF, and continued into 1934. Basically the F seems to indicate stuff unique to non-US markets.
The 54 prefix was also used on US cars with the V-8 60. Interesting that you have a "60" car that is prior to 1937 when the first "60"s appeared in the US.
