Perhaps because there were no 1937 Commanders. Car serial number would start with 5A or 6A, engine with D-xxxxx for Dictator; car serial number3C, engine B-xxxxx for President. So, your D-186527 indicates a late 1937 Dictator, as the the starting 1937 serial number is D-112601.

Further clarification. The 5A had the straight axle and the 6A had the planar suspension. Other than that (and the slight modification in the front fenders to accommodate the front spring perch) the cars were identical.
