I will try to relate what I see as the difference. The early model Kolbs used a tail weldment that consisted of a vertical tube and two horizontal tubes. The horizontal tubes are positioned inside the boom tube against the top and bottom and riveted to the boom tube lengthwise. The later version uses the ring, which is inserted into the boom tube and riveted around the circumference. This change was made to eliminate the step of removing the pin that connects the elevator horn to the elevator controller mechanism, in order to fold the tail, on the early style. The newer ring type has a pivoting joint that allows folding, without having to remove a pin. The elevators for the ring type use a different type of horn and I'm not sure if the early elevators could be retrofitted. There is also a difference in the design of the horizontal stabilator, at the inboard aft end. I think this was to give clearance for the pivoting joint. The early model has the corner tubes butted together at a right angle, while the ring type has a gap there. I don't think they would be interchangeable. If you were to install the new ring type on an early model, you may have to build new, or modify the existing, horizontal stabilators.
