Thanks Peabody
After comparing everything the only difference in all of these files is in my NSS_Balao.upc (which may only be left out from copy - pasting that section into your message above):
[UserPlayerUnit 1.UpgradePackSlot 1]
ID= UpgSurfaceSearchRadar
NameDisplayable= Surface Search Radar
Type=NULL
AcceptedTypes=BalaoSurfaceRadars
UserCustomizable=Yes
IDLinkUpgradePackSlots= EqSlot42, EqSlot43, SurfRadarAntenna
IDLinkUpgradePackSlotsIntervalDefault1= NULL, 1943-07-01, UpackBalaoSJRadar
IDLinkUpgradePackSlotsIntervalDefault2= 1943-07-01, NULL,
UpackBalaoSJ1Radar <==== mine has this

The paint job ... lol. I liked his high quality sub skins - especially the light topside.
I wonder what I could edit to give me the option of buying a different (older) SJ head - to give me a selection option in the Office - and try installing that - then re-installing the new head. The dates in NSS_Balao.upc?
Another thought - but I don't think it would work to try editing the ActiveUserPlayerUnits.upc saved game file because there are probably protections against 'cheating' by editing them in there. Who knows.... lol
I probably jammed the game somehow and it just didn't install right. Like I said above the new Dec 44 'test' Balao has the correct head and the new paint job is listed in the My Documents SH4 ActiveUserPlayerUnits.upc. Also, I have finished careers before through Aug 45 with no problem in a Balao class.
It's a mystery to me ... Thanks for trying Peabody
Happy Hunting!

Edit: maybe I should blow it off with the AA guns and see if they give me a new SJ - that is if they don't fire me.... LMAO
Edit 2: Of course like a dummy I don't have any old saves! Maybe in the future I'll keep more previous saves.
