They run the same for the moving parts, cylinder, exhaust, and carb are the same.
The only thing different is the crankcase, back plate, and the stationary cam pivot shaft.

The 82B has the cam setting down inside the crankcase with a almost flat cover acrossd the top
The 82A has the cam within a cover that sits on top of the crancase.
It is the same cam in the same place - it is just a matter of how it looks to the eye.
The "A" version crankcase will break at the junction between the cylinder and cam box in a bad crash that catches on the cylinder,
I don't see that it makes a lot of difference for repairing crashed Saitos, one that hit that bad is pretty well done for anyway.
This all started with a redesign of the Saito 82 into becoming the FG-14 gasoline engine. The then went back and changed the 82 and 72 glow engines to have a crankcase like the FG-14. The crankcase is common between the 72 and 82 anyway except for the number on the side.
