Strange things do happen. My Dad's 47 H, bought new had the kero/distillate carb, at that time I did not know the difference (1950 through about 1960), and I don't remember the manifold. I am positive it did not have the starting tank. But, the tractor was bought new in Jan 1947, I did not start driving it until I was 12 years old in 1950,so my memory of what it was like when it was delivered is non-exsitant. The carb could have been replaced with a distillate/kerosene one, for whatever reason. I believe that the kero/dist tractors usually did not have a suffix, no proof of that. As to the 49 H, unless you are positive about its history, the hood, manifold and carb could have been changed. I have a junky 1941 dist/kero H that needs a new carb (one of the attaching bolt holes is cracked, the hood is about beyond repair, the manifold may or may not be ok. Along with a hundred other things. If I fix it up, I may put a gas carb, manifold, and hood on it simply because I like them better. To be legal, since it needs an engine overhaul, I will definitely put new pistons in it and could change the head for not much additional expense. At that point I could put an X1 serial on it, because it then really would be an X1 tractor, it just didn't come from the factory that way. So you can take this and what I wrote below for what its worth, which may be nothing.
