I don't know Scott. I'm curious as to why the pumps are different myself. Haven't found anyone old enough, that can tell me anything yet. Do you have a Maintenance Manual models 450-470 (prt. no. X-5209)yet. Shows a internal photo of both style fuel pumps. Also shows the vacuum assist pump. So there was actually three different fuel pumps that could have been found on these engines.
