Like Steve said, the second one, has the correct engine number.

According to my files your 1950 B-2 PW built in CA has the correct engine number.
88766290 is about right for a T137-20437 engine, the other numbers I have bracket that number closely enough to make that look original.

Your 1953 B-3 88767083, with engine S11-196051 has the wrong engine, S11 is for some other application. (most likely a Desoto Car from the 40s)

I hope this info helps.
