They both work fine. I think one is just from a later model |

The later one, as you describe it, would be for models 513-515, for it was that machine that inaugurated the red nozzle and headlight bumpers, and a new-style rug guard that runs all the way through the nozzle. The earlier one you have is for models 505-512. Specifically, you have a 508 nozzle because of that being the first Kirby with a red belt lifter. The red nozzle bumper on that nozzle is a replacement, since up to the 512, it was gray.
That also means the brush roll assemblies will not interchange between models 505-512 and 513-515. The 513 brush roll will fit all models up to the Dual Sanitronic 80. ~Ben |

Thanks Ben, Perhaps the other photos didn't show up, but they both have the old early rug guards.

Sorry, I put "hinge" pin in the tiltle when it should have been Handle "Fork" Pin. Still wondering what the top one goes to?

Ah ... A little snooping around and I found a photo of Cb123's 508 with the straight grooves on the fork pin. Whew! Thanks, -EW
