Default Differences between M50 & C50 engines

I was reading this and found it interesting. It is from the site "Motorcycle Cruiser".

"There are minor differences in the (M50) engine (as compared to the C50). The M50 has slightly different rocker-arm shafts, which necessitate different breather covers, which in turn require small cylinder-head changes. It also uses split crankshaft bearings that slightly change the crankcase, which is painted black. The two bikes have different airboxes, and the M50 has a smaller radiator that nonetheless cools a bit better because of additional finning on the core."
