Logan,
Yes, they are. Here is one example.

Kirby redesigned the fan case during production because people were complaining of the machine shutting off when adjusted to a lower height, so what they did was redesign both the fan case and the part of the nozzle where it attaches to reduce such a chance. Mine thus has the revised fan case. They also revised the front wheel bracket shaft to allow the machine to sit up higher for the then-trendy shag carpeting, which also led Kirby to develop the Shag King accessory that first came out for this machine at the tail end of its run (February 1973).
