Early MGB banjo type axle carrier (even the entire pumpkin) is
interchangeable with the MGA, as long as you use the sun gears with the
correct splines to mate with the half shafts. MGB tube type axle is a rear
loader, so pumpkin is a no go. Pretty sure the later carrier won't fit the
MGA either, as the ring gear and those bolts are different. Otherewise I
plead innocent on the tube axles. Trust someone else more tham me.
