I think you are correct that the Sherman OD was faster than the Sherman Hi/Lo. My first tractor was a 2N with the OD. I was clocked running flat out (with my toe on the throttle butterfly) at 23 MPH a couple of times. I used to drive it down to the Am Legion on Thursday nights for cheap tacos and tap beers.

There weren't many tractors that would get you to the mailbox and back as fast as an N could with the OD.
