Would be nice if someone had an Autolite catalog that detailed the differences -- and maybe a Delco catalog too. Near as I can see the Delco starters and the Autolite MCL 6113 used in 51 is a straight Bendix type. The MCL 6114 which was only used on the 2406 and 2506 engines is the pinion shift type. No idea using parts book numbers alone if the pinion shift continued into 53 and 54. The Packard specs does show Delco has a much lower torque than the Autolites.
The photo of the 6114 is from an ebay listing but is a parts only core offered without the nose. Maybe some unlucky person tried to run it on 12v and had the nose casting break as so many other year 6v Packard starters have done when running on 12v.
