A suffix indicates a mechanical change in the engine from what was usually or originally shipped. Most of them were because of shortages. Here is an example of a 20th series. Some 18th series had a C meaning a different camshaft requiring a different carb. Some 21st had both B and C suffixes indicating different clutch plate combo's which couldn't be interchanged because of supplier issues and some 26th series had oversize lifter bores so they didn't have to throw out the block.

I couldn't find specifically what the C meant for 19th series but am missing a few service counselors and have no TB's from that era, Perhaps someone else does and can find the info.
