There were indeed differences between the early and late rear fender braces. The 'early' CA95 ran from 1959 up to frame number CA95-3106640 in 1963. Others have covered the differences between the early and late CA95s in other threads, so I won't try to replicate that, but visually, the major differences are the rear fender brace and the fuel tank panel.
The 'late' CA95 fender brace was lengthened to incorporate the rectangular rear signal base that was a separate part with the 'early' C95.
Unfortunately, the early CA95s didn't include that rectangular base that the general export C95 did. Those of us with 'late' CA95s need only remove the rectangular Honda plate to mount a lens. The mounting plates for the early C95 are available but are pricey. You'd need both a left and right side plate.
