In 1963 IHC's Farm Equipment Division decided to blend the best of the 404 with the British B 414 to make the 424. It used the B-414's diesel engine with an IPTO, while absorbing the I-404's swept back axle and better looks. This arrangement accepted the full range of accessories industrial customers wanted, taken from parts bins without need to import the modifications. This allowed the 424 to be production ready in 9 months instead of starting from scratch, which would have taken 3-4 years. These were shipped to Louisville(powertrain on skids) and assembled. So from what I have been able to gather thus far, tractors assembled in Britain did not receive these modifications and hopefully helps to explain the differences in the Canadian and U.S. models.
I found this info in Randy Leffingwell's book "International Harvester Tractors".
