identify this sector housing please

[danliveshere]

Guys my original steering box out of my rhd 35 phaeton had the sector housing on the left. Notice the crack that let oil leak from the box. Part # is 48-3580. The sector housing on the right came from a rhd 35 fordor. Notice the larger sector sealing area. The sector shaft itself is still 1.25" OD. The part # is 12294. Any ideas about the differences here? I had the later already been bushed and reamed and I have a new rhd sector shaft, and I found a new off the shelf seal to solve the sector shaft seal difference. I can't find any other differences so it should work with the rest of the steering box. I just want to know the differences if any. and why such a different part #??

I checked a 35 housing I have and the PN 48-3580 is also on it. I do not believe the #12294 is a part number probably a casting number, but I am not sure of this. My housing has a modern seal in it CR 11209 it,s OD is about 1.875 inch. In appearance the housing I have looks more like the housing on the right (replacement) not the left hand cracked housing.

The housing on the right looks the same as the housings on 5/6 of the stock '35 left hand steering boxes that I have on my original cars. The one on the left appears to have a seal pressed in place and that makes it look different. I am viewing this on a small smart phone screen so I may be missing some of the details you mention.

Canadian export model vs USA? Later configuration or a running change, could there be a letter after the number, different original supplier, all of these are possible
