Not sure this one has much on anything. This one looks like it is in long need for a refurb and some reworking to fix bubba's damage to it. Does the south bend have its motor in the pedestal? Also does the south bend have power cross slide? I think a big plus for the standard modern is the speed select on the spindle.
 
This one does not have the separate feed rod and lead screw. So power feed undoubtedly wears out the lead screw which would be the same as your sb9.

The 10/12 or 11/13 inch utilathes all have separate feed rods and lead screws… so that’s a definite minus over a different SM utilathe.

This one has the motor mounted behind the headstock and is most surely a 56 frame motor, which would make for extremely easy VFD conversion. Some of them have motors down in the cabinet which would suck more.

I can't speak for the Standard Modern, but the South Bend 9a and 9b have a keyway that runs the full length of the leadscrew and drives a feather key in the apron. Very little if any wear on the leadscrew at all.
A 9c however uses the threaded leadscrew and half nuts for longitudinal feed.
