Should this be interpreted the aircraft was modified at some point from A-2 to A-3, or did it in fact exist two production lines? One with A-2 and one with A-3?

I always thought the two sub-versions were produced at the same time, either as A-2 or A-3, and if actually modified did the aircraft in such a case really get a new plaque?

Cheers
