I have a 1946 BN, and the difference is in the rear wheel width. The B is 79 1/2 inches while the BN is 71 1/2 inches. That's all, except some differences in the seat platform as mentioned by Red Dave. The BN is more commly used for belly mowers, because of its tight turning and it was narrower in the rear allowing a 59" mower to do a good mow job while just trailing inside the wheels. The B would look silly with that small of a mower. You bought one of the two because of the ROW WIDTHS. Thats why the C (replaced the B and BN) Has the combined width with a sliding adjustable axle like an H or M. They took the ideas from the B, BN, and bigger ones to form the more versitle C.

The BN is a varient of the B. The main difference is the rear wheel width. A BN is 8" narrower than a B. The differential shaft housings on a B are 4" longer on each side. This causes a few other differences such as the seat mounting bracket, the pedals are mounted a little differently and the platform is wider on a B.
The engine, transmission, final drives etc are all the same on both. Both were available with a single or dual front wheels.
An easy way to tell the difference between the two is to look at the right side seat mounting, If there is a 4" gap from the seat bracket to the fender, it's a B, if the right side seat bracket is mounted against the fender, using the same bolts, it's a BN.
