Default C2 Ignition Shielding Differences ?

Are there significant Differences in the Years of Ignition Shielding . I have a 1965 L79 4 Speed A/Cond car .
Wondering what questions I would ask if buying off an Auction or at Flea Market

I also understand that some of the shielding made for earlier cars without the safety type of motor mounts will interfere with the later safety motor mounts. I'd check this out since most drivers have the later safety mounts installed, and you might want to use the later shielding which will clear the mount.

I'm going from memory here, someone with more specific knowledge will chime in, hopefully.

The lower V-shields require a rework in order to clear the later interlocked motormounts - scan below.
