B series crank handles identification

[robin craig]

Good day all,

Seeking the collective wisdom here please. I had two crank handles side by side the other day and had a look at wondered if they are the same but of different production runs or do the subtle differences mean a different usage intent.

I can see no difference save depth of the nut head, the two versus one bands at the other end. Despite the picture illusion, they are the same length in reality.

If you have seen this post elsewhere on another platform I apologise, double and triple checking is my nature.

What can anyone tell me please?

The spherical part is for the supporting bearing. Presume the one with two makes it suitable for multiple applications?

From this thread the bottom one looks like being for a Ferret.

Not sure if it helps, but here are photos of my starting handles for vehicles with B series engines.

 

From the top:  Champ,  Humber 1 Ton Cargo, Alvis Stalwart MkII.
