4th phrase in each part

It is another great tune of Gordan Duncans but I never know which ending to play in each part.

I was taught it by ear playing AFGE in the first and EFGE in the second. Will this affect me when I am playing it with other musicians?

The High Drive by Gordon Duncan

This tune is described as a reel but is it reely? (pardon the pun) I`ve also heard it described as a hornpipe

Sorry, all the details went before I could catch them... Basically pipingtool (cake decoration?) mentioned that later Gordon Duncan had added two more parts to his composition...
