Most IH guys will tell you that Deere was just trying to catch up to IH in 1947.
A "late styled" B meant a slightly larger engine displacement, electric start and lights as standard equipment, pressed steel frame instead of cast, and a padded seat.
The H and M were already far outperforming their rated/tested HP ratings. Electric start and lights were optional but nearly all tractors came with them. JD's frame "upgrade" was just a cost-cutting measure. The Monroe style seat was already standard equipment on the Farmalls.
IH did come out with a new line of small tractors in late 1947 with live hydraulics (Cub, Super A, and C). Deere didn't have anything like them as far as I'm aware, and never really did.
