I am not an expert on this however I have always thought them to be the same. The T tailgate assembly was part number T-6184, and in November of '27 the Engineer's Info #4717 changes the part number to A-78405. To further confirm these appear to be the same, the stamped panel for the T pick-up was part number T-6151 however in August of 1926, the part number appears to have been changed to A-78409. I would need to research this further to understand why the change was made that early, but I would be glad to research this further for you if they ever reopen the Benson library.
