Figured it was since the Cub and H are both well over fifty years old, and 
there were probably a lot of different numbering process out there at 
time. Every manufacturer probably had one that worked and made sense to 
them. That's probably why the army decided to try and clean it up. Could 
you imaging getting an engine from one source, a transmission from 
another, a rear end from a third, and then trying to maintain parts to 
keep all three going using the right bolt for the right part based on the 
different manufacturers part numbers. They probably had boxes of nuts, 
bolts, washers, etc.that were all the same except for their unique 
manufacturer numbers. I'm sure it was a logistics nightmare.
