My `62 TR4 has the earlier TR3 radiator... with the hole, and the
extended filler neck. I believe it's the same radiator that came
on the TR3's the extended filler neck was to clear the cowl on the
front to the car (the radiator sat under it). Since the running
gear and frame is essentially the same for both models (Triumph
wasn't a "wealthy" company) they merely continued using existing
radiator until somewhat later...
