The generator in the left photo was used from March 1930 to end of production. The right hand photo was used from Oct 1928 through late 1929. The oiler was relocated on the center bearing pocket from late 29 through March 1930. From Judging Standards page 2-7.

In most cases , 28-29 generators used ball bearings on the rear cover . The 30-31 generators used a rear bushing . The generators will interchange .
