Default Front spark plug retainers

The front spark plug wire retainers that hold the front two plug wires on each side on the small block engine just below the plugs and after the boomerang retainer on the side of the block - anyone have a picture? I have two versions, one short, one slightly longer and don't remember which came off the engine. Either would work, but only one would be correct.

How about this - I believe all midyears were the same:

Looks like the short ones. Have another pair abt 1/2” longer. Wonder the origin?
