The shift linkage change does not follow years, it follows transmission
types. The way it attaches and works is very different at the tranny end
and can't be interchanged without swapping to the matching tranny type.
The early type was used on all aircooled and many diesels only. The
later type was used on all waterboxers. An additional variation was for
5 speeds, same later setup at the tranny end but very different in the
front lever area.
