I see that a lot, 2Ns misidentified as 9Ns. The easiest way to identify a 2N versus a 9N is to see if there are access holes in the doglegs for the grille bolts. If there are holes, then it's a 2N, if not, it's a 9N. Now, if the radius arms are oval it would be a later 2N, but if it has I-beam shaped arms, it's either a 9N or an early 2N. That is what throws off more people, as a lot of early 2Ns made before the middle of 1944, gets identified as a 9N because of the I-beam shaped arms.
