A little Starlet background to help out.
KP61, 62 or 60 refers only to engine size (4k, 3k and 2k respectively). There where three generations within the 6X series, bugeye (round headlights, 78-79ish), non drop hatch (hatch above tailights, same as bugeye but square lights, 80-82) and drop hatch (plastic bumpers, hatch comes down between tailights, sloped grille, 83-84).
I am fairly certain on the X code bit for pre drop hatch, this is the code used by TRD for the LSD when they were raced in the US (now out of production). You can (from a very very reliable source) fit U code centres into X code housings if you use the appropriate axles.
I am definite on the 83-84 U code (except for the 2k KP60), when I blew mine a KE70 centre was identical and went straight in with the Starlet axles.
Whether the B and X are interchangable I don't know. Will consult with my expert when I get a chance.
