From what I understand, any Beaver with a middle pitch control was built for the US military. Any aircraft with the pitch on the left hand side were designed for civil use.

Jeez Forky - can't you tell the difference between a Beaver on Floats and beaver on floaties?

some don't even have the same knobs... just ads to the character of the Beaver.

Some of the earlies had coloured knobs, the AG one's were a fair mix of machinery with stuff straight from the factory and others from lotsa other places including ex military stuff. After a few years they had all sorts of parts with a few having U-6 wings with hard points. Most of the tip tanks were U-6 stuff. I think all the quadrants were converted in hangar 17 at Bankstown to be the same.
