If you can post pictures of the Bench Ends, I would appreciate seeing the differences.
Here are some pics to illustrate the comparison.

The older bench leg (original to my recently restored 10E) has the original sticker and no holes for caster assemblies. The three main holes in the top for pivot base or tail rest attachment are in a straight line (I’ve circled two additional owner-drilled holes).

The newer bench leg has no sticker, but has holes for caster assemblies. Its three primary holes are offset.

Interesting. The early Bench end with the SS decal has the same "extra" holes as the one in the picture I posted. Was it factory or similarly done by owners for mounting the Headrest?

This was a very quick restoration project, due to the fact that the machine was in pretty good shape to start. It had some surface rust on the bench ends to deal with, but minor enough to avoid a paint job even there. Also the plating on the quill depth gauge and spring housing are still in great shape after polishing…
The big upgrade it received was the addition of a speed changer - this is one I picked up on a business trip to Orange County, CA last year. Got it for $75 from a gentleman who used to do a lot of Model 10 restorations, and this was about the last piece he had left. He had been dropping the price for months with no takers!
Anyway, the overall system cleaned up very nicely, and is now looking for a new home in Massachusetts…

Do I see the thin-walled Way Tubes? Does it have the hollow Table Posts?
I don't see the Upper Saw Blade Guard and was wondering if it has the later plain one seen on the bottom in the picture below.
