So far the differences have been minor. Who takes the throwback from the catcher to first. Who can courtesy run for the pitcher and catcher and when. Stuff like that. So far we cover it before the game and I pretty much do whatever my partner wants to do. It would be nice to know the official way to do it though.
Thanks everyone for their input.

Courtesy runners are a rule, not a mechanic and the umpires have no choices.

On a throw from F2 to 1st (after a pitch?) with the BU in B, the BU better be closer and covers the play. Even with the BU in C, the PU would really have trouble seeing through the catcher, fielder and possibly F3 playing up; so I don't see it being anyone but the BU. The attempted tag is almost always on the outfield side of the base.
