I just replaced the rad fan in my '87 Camper with A/C
and it had the smaller fan. The BD replacement fan
motor came with the larger fan, but it wouldn't fit
inside the fan shroud, so I ended up re-installing the
old fan on the new motor. Sounds like there are
different sized shrouds also. This on a vehicle that
was delivered to and spent its whole life in Florida.

I have photos of both fans and motors here:
