Many of the single brake early cars were "changed over" to the later system as a matter of registration. Pennsylvania was noted at the time as being particularly egregious on this, although there were others.

Some State governments objected to the early brake system, and Pennsylvania would not allow the Model "A" to be licensed, since it did not provide for independent emergency brakes. So, there was no alternative but to revise the system. By February 1928, a new emergency braking system was ready for release.

IIRC, the release of the Model A Pickup(s) was delayed a bit until after January 1928. I've seen an actual date mentioned here on this board.
