Check the height of the radiator as some of the early ones had a deeper slam panel and hence the radiator is shorter on them. The measurements are on the advert though which is very handy.

This is right, the early cars had a different size. The early radiators have been of a much higher quality, using a much denser alloy grid, so they could use a smaller size. To change you'll need at least the slam panel and most likely also some new tubing.
