Has anyone heard of there being variations in the 4 speed clutch hubs?
I'm currently looking at two hubs, one which I know to be part number
1208-1801 and one for which I am uncertain of the part number. They both
have 2mm outer splines, but the internal splines have different depths.
Specifically, the 1208-1801 splines are deeper than the unknown number's
splines. This would seem to indicate that there was a very early V700
transmission input shaft with a different spline depth than the later
V700 and Ambassador input shafts.

Perhaps there was an earlier 1208-1800 version that was superceded by
the later 1208-1801 version? Does anyone have a 1st edition V700 spare
parts catalog they can check?

From my visual inspection, it appears that the 1208-1801 would work on
the earlier versions that called for the 1208-1800...but not the other
way around.
