Default Franklin PCGS FBL or not? Look and decide

Recently I bought two 1955 Franklins graded MS64 by PCGS.
One is designated FBL, the other is not. Even better, the serial
numbers
are sequential, which means (I guess) that they were graded one right
after the
other. I've posted pictures of the Bell Lines at
http://www2.SPSU.edu/math/edwards/fbl.jpg

Take a look, and tell us which is which. I'm curious whether people
think there is a large
or even discernable difference. Both coins are nicely toned.
And I will give them both as a prize to whoever figures out which is
which is which.......NOT!!!

I am guessing the top Franklin (A) loses the designation on both sides of
the bell crack. The bottom Franklin (B) is the FBL although I would say not
a strong one and not all FBLs are created equal.
