[AJD] Correct B Manifold description

I friend of mine has asked me to sell a 1949 JD B Manifold (B2179R) for him
on eBay. He described it as a 1949 "All Fuel" B manifold. After studying the
B Parts catalog, I'm not sure that is a correct description. 

The Parts catalog shows this manifold used serial # (B183972-B200999)
whereas a gasoline manifold for the serial number range (B96000-B200999) as
B2803R. The B2179R manifold ALSO shows as a valid sub for B1786R on ser #
(B96000-B183971). I'M CONFUSED. 

Could someone explain this to me so I'm no longer confused? 

Here is my present thinking. This "all fuel" manifold could be used from
1941 models all the way through the later "all fuel" tractors through
B200999. Which would be in the early part of the 1947 model year. B2282R
"All Fuel" manifold was used from then on. So I think this manifold never
was supposed to be on a 1949 B.  Help ????
