It's the same "2 different starters", the TR4/A used the same starter as the
post-50000 TR3A.
Well, there were some minor variations in both the pre-50K and post-50K
starters, I don't mean to say all post-50K starters were absolutely
identical, but they do all interchange (as do all pre-50K starters).

I've always wondered about that ... it's never happened to me and I ran a
great many miles with a pre-50K starter. I only recently switched to a
gear-drive.
The only failures I had with the early starters were the rubber drive
coupling failing (even had one of the "hi tech" fail-safe replacements from
BFE fail), wires getting tangled (due to improper assembly by yours truly),
and worn-out bushings.
