The 14 marble 'King Bee Foto Ray No 295' were on VC, VF, and T207 trucks, plus contemporay trailers - say from 39 through to early '41. I've seen an original set of Anthes Force Oiler Co ones on a later '42 T211 or T215 with a specialist body on it - either a maintenance or repair truck of some kind.
From memory the 'type A' is the 'indestructable' type with a slightly larger body and four mounting bolt main flange? Never seen those as original equipment on anything - I think they are a bit later than the '295's
The attached image is a comparison between the Anthes Force Oiler and King Bee No 295 types - note that the four centre marbles are aligned differently in the Anthes unit, and the taper on the body side is slightly more pronounced.
