It looks like the 600 series was originally referred to as "NCA". I've read things that indicate the proper prefix for 600 part numbers is NCA and the proper prefix for 800 part numbers is NDA.

This bulletin is also interesting because Ford issued an owner's manual in 1954 for the 600 series only (form SE-6024). There is also a 1954 edition of the owner's manual that covers both 600 and 800 series (form SE-6085) and every subsequent edition covers both series. I have never seen a manual dedicated solely to the 800 series. So, was the initial intention to offer only the 600 series? Was the bigger engine in a separate series (800 series with 172 engine) an afterthought? Things that make you go "hmmmm....."
