The Burdick, later called Minnesota B, has a slightly smaller bed size than your Dayton. The only way I can tell the difference from a photo is the slightly different position of the stitch regulator. Nothing fussy about the older Davis Underfeeds once you have the right sized needle. I've found quite a few 15x1 needles in my Davis' which fall short of the shuttle.
