Richard,
You can see the hex head on the end of the axle in your second picture. 
Look in the end of the seed plate drive shaft and you should see another hex 
head just like it.  Unscrew it and the part should come off.  You should be 
able to swap the different parts between them.

I see what might be a bigger problem.  What exactly are you trying to 
accomplish here?  The housing in the second picture is for an A, not a Super 
A.
