AZ66 and AZ66A

As far as I’m aware theres several differences ,
one of which is a difference in the rotations per minute of the turbine inside.
In the L.Dv. it’s mentioned that the :
eAZ 66 spins at 4000 - 4500 rpm
eAZ 66 A spins at 5000 rpm
For other technical differences or variations in terms of material they’re made , I’d have to take a look at them.
I believe one of them can also change its orientation depending on the airflow.
Besides that , there’s also a difference in what they were used on.
eAZ 66 : SD 10 A , 4kg Splitter-bombe
eAZ 66 A : SD 4 HL , SD 10 A , SD 10 C , SD 15
