My 55 is alive

First time in about 25 years that it has moved under its own power. Sat in a shed for a good 20 years after the old farmer passed then I got it and it sat here awhile. Runs pretty good after sitting that long, even got the separator in gear to clean out all that the mice had packed in there. Slip clutch for the rattle chain went but got that cleaned out then it ran also.
Question is what makes my EB differ from a plain 55? It has rasp bars and the screens on tailings and clean grain augers but that don't seem to be enough to make a different model designation?
 
The Edible Bean spike tooth cylinder doesn't take as much power as a rasp cylinder. I suspect there are some other differences in the cleaning area as well. When my brother raised edible beans he had to slow the rasp cylinder all the way down. It threshed the beans okay but took a lot of engine power; the engine sucked through twice as much fuel as when the cylinder was at higher RPM's.
