[Ford-ferguson] Massey Harris and Ferguson Pony model?

[Paul and Mary Thicke]

One difference that I have seen is on the name plate tag located below the
right front of the engine.  It will only say Massey Harris for the Massey
Harris tractor and Massey Harris Ferguson on the Ferguson model.

Does anyone know for sure about any differences in the Massey Harris
Pony and the Ferguson Pony? I read "somewhere" that the only
difference was the serial numbers and the paint. I also seem to recall
reading that there were no clear records as to which serial numbers
were painted gray and which were red and yellow.
My Pony is Massey Harris (or at least that is how it was last painted)
but I am a little tempted to paint it gray to show it along side of my
TO-20 Ferguson.
I have a 8N and I am "quietly" (that means you do not mention it in
front of the wife) watching for a steal in a 9N.
I have a bunch of old tractors in all sizes, colors and in different
conditions (18, I think). But since I retired I am slowly shifting to
smaller tractors that I can haul several at a time easily.
My small ones are:
TO-20
8N
AC-C
MM-R
MH Pony
Case VAC
Farmall CUB
I plan to show all of these this summer/fall. The 8N is the least
likely to be ready. I may have to show it in a row of baskets.  ;-)
I do show some in working clothes.
