Default Air filter assembly

Does anyone know the difference between an early 63 and late 63 fuel injected air cleaner assembly ?

Are there specific measurement differences ? Latch location differences ?

Thanks

The differences is in the wire clips that hold the filter in place the early 63 the clip bracket is welded above the reinforcement of the air cleaner housing that holds the housing into the inner fender. Later 63 they move the clip down on top of the reinforcement apparently to give more hood Clearance.
