The very first Model A's were referred to as AR's because they had some Model T parts on them. I learned this from an old gent who restored a Model AR. .

Dont you hate it when the 'old gents' spread misinformation like this?

The Model A was 'The New Ford'.
I dont think you will find a single T part carried into A use.
The AR designation applied to obsoleted parts, of which there were many.
By the time Henry had made the first 5000 Model As, he had made 5500 changes in the parts.
These obsoleted parts got the designation, "AR" in the parts listing.
There are several very good websites dedicated to the true story of the Ts and As

Was looking at "The Rodder's Journal" number 40, page 16/17and there was an old picture of a '32 roadster under re-construction, fender-less without rear fenders but still with the stock gas tank. Maybe this will give you some idea of what stock looked like. GPster

I may have mis-remembered the Model T parts things as it was back in the mid-70's I was told about the AR designation. Check this one out: A Model A AR for sale. There is some clarification there.
