Is this a Super A or just an A?

I have what I think is a super A. The main question is with the standard hydraulics. When they came out with the Super A in 1952, was there a point in which the carry over model 51 or early 52's come without standard hydraulics? I have had this tractor for 4 years and have pulled whatever available numbers off it to confirm it with the local case/ih dealer. They indeed told me it was a 1952 Super A. I purchased the manuals and noticed there were no hydraulics on the tractor as depicted in the pictures. It does however have an aftermarket hydraulic system and was converted to a 12 volt system. All original electronics do not appear as original as well. In addition it has the Super A sticker on it, but everyone knows you can slap a sticker on anything to confuse you. Another interesting piece of info on this was this past summer I replaced the Head gasket and noticed a patched up hood on the right side. You could not tell from the outside, but it had a round hole in it for which it had previously ran on distillate fuel. Many if not all parts seem to be interchangable with all years of A's and Super A's, so that seems to make it even more difficult to determine what year it is. It does not have a water pump as well. Where the original seriel numbers should be on the seat bracket is missing, so as to complicate identifying it as well. If there is any other data or thoughts on this, it would be most appreciated from everyone. Thanks,
Ty
