Hi Snowy
are you talking about the needle bearings of the swing arm?
They're the same , the only difference is that the A1 swing arm has only place for one on each side and the A2 swing arm has two on each side.

No worries.
Not sure about why, but I would suspect it was all push towards less emissions and thus leaner running...
