Default Does this air cleaner seal look right?

I recently installed the original style air cleaner on my '73. The rubber hood seal that fits on the adapter ring looks different than the pictures in the AIM manual. Am I correct or does it look normal?

It's not a great picture, but this is the original seal on a 74 I bought in 1979. The car had about 30,000 miles on it at the time.

Looks better than my worn 50,000 mile seal.

Thanks guys. Looks like they all have a little different look. Hopefully I will see more examples this year at some car shows.
