If you like the way it runs and it never kicks back upon starting, I don't think it'll hurt anything.

My car came timed as a model A, but as I later found out had a model B block with the model B timing cover. As the OP experienced, it ran fine...started well and so on. However when I retarded the rotor about 10 degrees it now does run better, usually starts in a single revolution, and I can use the manual advance to find the sweet spot when climbing hills, running about town etc.
Here's a nice article on the different timing covers and how to identify them:

Mine turned out to be the B-6019
