I'm not totally sure about the square deal b, but Dillon does have an adapter to use a rcbs or hornady powder measure on the 550. You may want to check with them,I have seen the adapter on their web site.
I will tell you all I know but I can not answer your question. Dillon makes an "Adapter" so that a powder measure with a 7/8 X14 thread can be screwed into it. The other end of the adapter fits the powder die of the 450 presses. The powder die of the 450 presses held the powder funnel in place with a set screw. The powder tube on the 450 did not move. The powder measure on the 450 was manually operated and was NOT case activated. If the powder die of the square deal is a 7/8 X 14 thread it should work. The powder measure would need to be manually operated. This is assuming that the square deal uses the same powder tube as the 450/550 presses. It appears to be the same the picture.
Not without a custom adapter. The SD has dies that are around 3/4", different than all other presses.
The SD powder measure is different than the ones for the 550, 650 and 1050.
Dillon SDB is all proprietary with respect to dies.
The Dillon Square Deal and the RL450/550 both use the same powder funnels. However, the powder dies they reside inside have different outside diameters. The Square Deal powder die is about .735" in diameter. The RL450/550 powder dies are about .875" OD.
I suppose you could use the Dillon manual powder measure adapters on a Square Deal IF you turned your own adapter sleeve for it. I think it should be .736" inside and .874" outside. The length could be determined by the length of the Dillon adapter. I don't have one to measure right now.
It could work.
