I have seen the "Sample" referred to before, but don't remember for what (but see my guess below). Your friends B was built at the Louisville plant shortly after it opened. The last A/B chassis serial is 198298 for Chicago and 220829 for Louisville. Very close to the introduction of the C and Super A thus the opening for the hydraulic pump. The engine prefix for the C was FCM, for the Super A FAAM. The A and B did not use the M. But, it looks like IH started using the M prefix a little early, which also may help explain the word "sample", although it is probably "supposed to read" FABM on the same line. Could be intentional, could be misstamped, since the serials were stamped by hand. The only G I can find is for a cotton picker attachment, never used on a B, I don't believe. Or, as you say, it could be a replacement engine.
