Was there 2 different hood latches for our cars? Actually I know there is because I have 2 of each. I just don't know which years got what. My 1972 Mustang has the short stubby handled latch, but the 1973 latch I have the lever is long and skinny, did the different grilles have different latches? Or can you use either on any grille?

 
71 and 72 used the short latch with the wide handle

73 had the longer thin version
