There are usually other differences but these are related to when it was built rather than model specific.

i.e. F type hull with the drivers side escape hatch is only found on Cromwell because Centaur production had ceased by the time it was introduced.

The engine installation is designed to be interchangeable between the two though fan drives, clutch and oil cooler and filter are also different. The switchbox allows for either coil or magneto igntion as required.
