Default 1962 327 Engine question

I have been looking to buy a 62 Corvette. I see a lot of them that say numbers matching engine. With out going to see the car I have a question on the oil filler tube. What side of the engine is it suposed to be on, Pass Side Or drivers side, and does it make a difference with Fuel injection. Are they all the same even with different Horsepower.

Thanks Still learning the car and looking to buy.

250 and 300 hp are cast iron manifolds and the filler tube points to the driver's side. 340 and FI(360) arebaluminum and the tube points toward the passenger side.
