The differences can been seen here
http://mysite.freeserve.com/material/lego/parts/2538.jpg
Both parts are clearly marked 2538 between the 2nd and 3rd 'pillars' in the
'brick like' moulding at the base. The only other visible difference is
that the one with the lugs is marked "2 03" and the one without lugs "1 02"
between the ist and 2nd 'pillars'

The only reason I raised it with Andrew in the first place was due to
'subtle' differences in parts such as 'tile' vs 'tile with groove' and
'technic bush type I' vs 'technic bush type 2'
The only ships I have are 6286 and 6274 - I know it proves very little
(especially as we have found 7x5 yellow plates in technic manuals) but the
bowsprit for 6274 http://library.brickshelf.com/scans/6000/6274/6274-12.html
does not show lugs whereas for 6286 it does
http://library.brickshelf.com/scans/6000/6286/6286-28.html which would imply
that the lugless variant is older and so should be the 'a' part.
best regards
