CV10 prefixed drawings and part numbers are F7U-3 components and CV14 prefix drawings and part numbers are exclusively created for the A2U-1. 

The part number breakdowns reveal that the A2U-1 incorporated a number of F7U-3 components that were already in production. 

It is also interesting that to note the partial interchangeability of the speed brakes, upper left to lower right and upper right to lower left.

Below is a view of the AN7510-2 Plate that was to be applied to each major assembly identified in this drawing.
