Are these new questions?

Hello, primenumbers group members.  These are not questions about large primes. 
 
A) I am seeking a power of 2 that has in decimal a prime number of copies of each digit (in its decimal representation).
I would expect this to have already been asked.  I have an early collection of 6 values with one exceptional digit,
another 6 with two exceptional digits, and then it is not even empirically obvious there are not just a finite number with three exceptions
(while, I believe, there should be infinitely many answers to the original question).  New question, already solved, or in between?
 
B) I have 102 cases so far of primes that make the counts of primes in 3/4 of the residue classes other than 0 modulo 5 have equal totals.
The last came very slowly in relative terms and has been followed by an even longer lag.  There should be an infinity of these cases, right?
And I should actually expect that whether I can find it or not there are also ones giving all 4, or no?  This cannot possibly (?) be a new exploration.
[Incidentally, does anybody have good info on how the numbers for questions of this kind compare with random walks, theoretically?
Is there anything at all beyond refinements in expected total counts?]
 
Note: Still waiting to see if my putative wager would have been correct,
and I was able to convince myself that my guess about a reason for the final-digit coincidence was reasonable
(but did not go further than to see if it was totally off).
