Yes you have the later type. Now from the pictures, The fenders are NOT the waukesha type....those have square corners not chamfered. Also, the fron tboster on the Waukeshas were ribbed, much like the regular, f20, and f30. They were prone to break so most were replaced with the solid type like you have. Infact the solid boster you have is a 1937 or later--you can tell from the filler plug in the front top. The rails are the early style; I cannot tell if the gas tank is...if it has an X stamped in the front panel behind the engine rather than a round circle, then it is the early type. Later type had the round circle. The hood is from a Kero burning F-12 IHC engine. The Oil filter is late 1934 to 1937; but the oil filler cap looks like a 1933 (if it doesn't have ears on it and is stamped steel instead of cast iron).
Now about the Waukeshas.....In my area, if the tractor was traded in or there was promotional deals from IHC, the tractor was upgraded by the dealer. The upgrade was replacing the waukesha engine with an IHC engine, F4 mag with the newer impulse coupling, new stronger solid cast front bolster, lower radiator spout to match the IHC engine, 9" clutch instead of the waukesha and early 8" clutch. NOW if the tractor came through the dealership after 1939, then the dealer would make the above change overs plus the F-14 steering and use a f-14 engine.
Hope it helps.
I have a 1933 waukesha f12, #3076 & #3182 1933 IHC engine f12, 1934, 35, 36, 37, 38, and 1938, 39 f-14. They are all fun!

Today's Featured Article - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership,
