Stromberg AAV-26

Time to send out my AAV-26 carburetor for my 1940 Super 8 180. Would like to know the difference, if any, between a 10-40A and a 10-40E. When I originally got the car in the late eighties it had an E, but has a small hole in the top of the float bowl for the original West wind heater. Got a second E which is on the car and would like to keep it running while a carburetor is out for the rebuild. Many years ago I got an A thinking it is also for the 1940? Externally I can see only one difference and that is two tubes that run around the venturies different directions. Might there be internal differences as the A does not have the small heater hole in the top. See two attached photos it they upload? The A is the dirty one as it has been sitting for many years.
