Simple answer - no, you cannot convert one to the other.

The one big difference I know of (there must be others) is that the 131A
"only" has a time resolution of 500ps, whereas on the 132A it is 150ps.

How similar are the 131A and the 132A ? Is it possible to upgrade a 131  
into  132 ?

Interesting question!
 
I suspect not, not in any straightforward fashion anyway, but I'm sure  
others would know better than me.

I suppose an interesting experiment might be to drop a set of 53132A  
firmware ROMs into a 53131A, not something I've tried, but I wouldn't be at  
all 
surprised if they weren't recognised.
