Yes. i am using the original. I think they are just beautiful. the problem is taht the gage cluster is limited to what you can do so i am developing a device that will retain the original gas gage but it'll be operated by a servo motor controlled from the sending unit in the new gas tank; the speedo is original and restored functional; water temp & oil pressure gages are added with a flaring punch tool; the map light is retained. I am using vintage SW gages and have the oil pressure gage and located the matching water temp but won't have it for a week or so. I'll post a pic of it when it is complete.
As far as interchange with the '32, teh model 'a' has a dash rail that backs up to teh gas tank and teh '32 has a proper dash, i would imagine a '32 dash would go right in there once you cut out the original 'a' gas tank.
Heres a pic of teh pipes:
