Diameter Sizes on Detachable King Bells

I was wondering if anyone out there knows if any of the detachable, upright bells for the King 2341's were ever made with a diameter different from 19 inches? I realize that the bell-front bells have a different diameter, but I'm curious whether the upright bells manufactured by King for the 2341 were ever different from 19 inches.

Another question. Does anyone have an opinion on using a King 2341 upright bell on the body of a King 2341 that is not the original horn the bell was made for and has a different brass finish (more reddish than the bell which has a yellowish brass color)? Should this cause any concerns with the tone/timbre/sound?

I appreciate any one who has the time to either post a message in response or send me an e-mail.

Thanks!
