Hugger heads fit Rotary combines.  A-630 fits L-M-G conventional combines. Nothing common in their design.

Isn't that an orange head? Lot of things to keep an eye on with them.

A-series was the first black "adjustable" row width head. N-series same head but rotary combine offset main frame. Hugger is gear box head for rotary only.

You have a N630 head that someone put the wrong decals on/ swapped end hoods with a A series.

Hugger is essentially taking what is good about a Deere 40series (enclosed gearbox row unit) and the Black frame (A/ N series) agressive gathering chains, etc. and combined it to make a really good header.

The black frame is a high maintenance header, however in down corn it has pretty hard to beat performance wise.

No more than its worth resale wise, Id keep it around for down corn and try to buy the hugger for your main header.
Gleaner: the properly engineered and built combine.

If you need parts for your Gleaner, we are parting out A's through L2's, so we may be able to help.
