is one refractor deep and the other shallow or are they the same? let's see:

different nameplates
different terminal blocks
different color gaskets
different lamps (clear and coated)
one cap is painted gray, other is bare
one has a black hinge tab, other is bare
one's hooked up to coard, other not
nameplates face opposite directions
left one had rusty bottom bolts on the fitter
the holes on the metal brackets where the terminal blocks are are different between the two fixtures
where the latch engages above the reflector, one has a brown rectangle, the other is shiney.

i think that's most if not all... Razz Laughing

oh, and does yours have the neutral bonded to the housing on the left hand side?

Are the slipfitter clamps different or is one just dirtier than the other?

One is in 1 1/4 inch setting and other is in 2 inch setting simply flip the slipfitter for desired size just like the latest version of OV-20s

I'm betting the '63 also has the thumb tab.
