Someone would have to go to a LOT of trouble to completely remove all the telltale traces of a tractor having been a kerosene/distillate model. It's not out of the realm of possibility, but it involves removing or replacing parts that would not likely be removed or replaced.
Least likely would be the hood. The odds of someoene replacing the hood just to get rid of the extra hole are slim. It could happen, but the person would have to be seriously OCD about things.
If your hood has an extra hole in it for no apparent reason, the tractor was likely a distillate or kerosene model.
Next least likely would be the carburetor. It's an expensive part that rarely needs complete replacement, just rebuilding. A distillate carburetor will have a petcock drain on the bottom IIRC.

The bellcrank on the right front of the engine for controlling the shutters was often left on the tractor.
