The early and late clutch cylinders only differ in that the later type's
reservoir is tipped to the left a bit to clear the larger dual brake
master reservoir.

A nuisance for the purist since it looks dumb in the earlier
application, but they are interchangeable.  Early types are no longer
made, so if you are a purist find a used one and have White Post
resleeve it for you.
