What was the difference between a Master Sergeant and a First Sergeant in WW2?

In the United States Army, the rank of First Sergeant (abbreviated as 1SG) is above Sergeant First Class, below the ranks of Sergeants Major and shares the paygrade of E-8 with Master Sergeant. The rank of First Sergeant carries more responsibility than the rank of Master Sergeant, and the rank may be either given to the soldier upon promotion to the paygrade of E-8 or they may be "laterally promoted" (promoted in rank but not paygrade) from Master Sergeant at a later date. They are also known unofficially as Top Sergeant or just Top, due to the fact that First Sergeants are the most senior non-commissioned officers in an Army company. Right - that is Current, but what was the difference during World War II, when Master Sergeant was technically higher than First Sergeant (Although both E-7)? - Master Sergeants were higher in responsibility than FSgt's. Master Sergeants were commonly Battalion level NCO's during WWII, also more experienced members of the Armored and Air Corps. First Sergeant was the most senior NCO positions in a Company.
