Hello mr.davis

Yes, Model 450526 is most definitely a Model 45 Lawn King.
Yes, most parts will be identical to a SB Model 45.

Many thanks for recording the model and mower number.
This will assist provenance down the mower strip.

I think evidence suggests your machine was painted 'Pacific Blue'.
Mod BB will be the best judge of that.
