It has all the characteristics of a 30 but I still wonder about that scenario.

Do you think Ford threw all the '30 inventory away & only used latest production items on 1/1/31? That was not how the model changes occurred in that era. The s/s '30 shells would have been used up into early '31 etc plus 3 month time spans before engine use could have been shorter or longer depending on production volumes at any particular plant.
