Default OK, where's the scissor jack thread?

I saw one in the archives that showed pics of the three types of OEM jacks, and now I can't find it. Finally got mine out to clean it up and I'd like to know what type it is. It has the hole in the top, and has a spring and two lug wrenches, one bigger than the other. The smaller one fits the scissor jack.

The second handle from the bottom in the photo is the correct one, but it should have a rivet instead of the nut and bolt at the pivot where the socket joins the handle.

Yes, that's the one that fits the jack. I guess the larger one is for the lugs. Is this jack a Type I, II, or III? I had read that the '65 came with a Type II somewhere, but I don't know what type this one is. Thanks.

Here's what the '65 TIMJG has to say about the jacks for 1965.
Hope this helps a bit.

The socket on the end of the second handle from the bottom fits both the jack nut and the stock lug nuts. Don't know what the handle is at the bottom of the photo.
