The first one is for a late Bay either 55 or 70. The other is for the earlier.

There is an early and late style. They need to match the tin they are being used with. Yes, they go between the alternator and the tin.

the top one is '76-'79, the bottom one is '72-'75.

75s are a odd year.

my 75 had the top one on a 55amp alt.

Whichever one you have handle with care, they're brittle and I imagine a PITA to replace/find.
