Can't help on the part number but according to parts book the governors were the same depending on if an R9 or R11 OD with a third listed for all 51 and later models. I suspect like the speedo's, only the pinion changed for a different ratio but that is somewhat confusing in the parts book too as they only list one pinion available for passenger cars with OD again depending on if it was an R9 or R11 or 51 and later. Maybe Henney had something different as it is possible they recalibrated a stock governor to switch at a different RPM compatible with their ratio.
The wire colors for a 50 two wire governor is Green/Yellow for EC and Yellow for OD. If you have no EC that wire is unused and coiled up out of harms way. 51 and later passenger car governors just had one wire because there was no longer an EC option.
