Default 1957 fuel pump

Is the fuel pump on a 1957 vette interchangeable with a 1960 vette? If not, why?
What are the correct fuel pumps for each year?

They all attach the same and function the same - the only real difference from one application to the next is the radial orientation of the bottom casting that dictates the positions of the inlet and outlet fittings to accommodate the main line fitting on the frame and the pump-to-carb hard line arrangement.

Many AC pumps can be reclocked to emulate other AC pumps:
