Default Early 26 question

I have in my shop an early 26 T Fordor. Were the older parts still being used up at this point? Ive done a search and found different pictures of cars with different features. This one has the split windshield, no bumpers, and wood wheels. The frame and engine numbers match and comes up as a February 1926 build date.

The bumpers were an extra cost item along with the wire wheels. The 26-27 4 door bodies were a carry over of the earlier 4 door body with a new cowl that matched the new hood added.

Shortly after I posted my buddy showed up with his authentic Model T info book and I learned all the differences.

If you're going to be working on Model T's, you want the encyclopedia and the manuals.

The manual I have tells how to repair them not all the subtle differences. All i care about it making them run and drive great, I couldn't care less which wheels were original or whether the rad shell should be painted and such.
