Default '72 air cleaner question

I'm looking to replace an aftermarket air cleaner on my '72's 350 with a stock dual snorkel air filter assembly. I found one listed locally but the seller says it was on his '73. It's a dual snorkel base, filter with lid, and a ring that sits on the base. Will this fit and is it the correct assembly?

Looks like this:

It should look like the air cleaner on my 71....minus the decal on the cover. The one you have will probably fit but is not correct for a 72.

Your air cleaner is for a 73 -75, with cowl induction. That is why it has an open area next to the air cleaner to match up with the hood gasket on the cowl induction.
