From the look of the "Overview" section of this announcement, 9133-55A is apparently a designation referring collectively to the 9133-550 and 9133-550Q.

I have a 55A and it's a quad core. I would assume the 9113_550 is a dual core.

I think the 55A has slightly faster processors and maybe the odd 266 MHz pci slot.
I think they are both up to 4 way.
The 55A is just a slightly newer 550 with the odd small upgrade.
