It's all a matter of different sights..
46B(a) was produced in 1946 and 1947
It differs from the original 46B that was produced from 1938 to 1946 with the S-104 rear peep, only in that they changed to the S-100 rear peep sight.
The 46B(b) was produced from 1947 to 1949 it differs only because the rear sight was once again changed to the S-130
Mossberg did not put serial numbers on their rifles until after the "Gun Control Act" of 1968... so no manufacturer numbers on anything made before 1968.
Front sight S-101 should have hood...
Here are a couple of websites with a wealth of Mossie info...
