Default '70 Tilt steering column rebuild question

Over this past winter, I rebuilt a tilt steering column for my '70 Bonneville. I
finally had a chance to install it this weekend, and ran into a small issue.

I was able to source new replacements for the tilt lever and the turn signal lever,
so those are brand new. My plan was to re-use the shift lever from my original
non-tilt column, since its in perfect condition. Problem is, after inspecting the
tilt and non-tilt shift levers, they do not appear to interchange. The segment
that interfaces inside the column is visibly quite different between the two.

Wondering if anyone can confirm if the shift levers are indeed different p/n's? I
have a parts book on the way that I will eventually be able to check, but its a
few days out.

Second, does anyone know if these shift levers are reproduced? I did not see
them in Ames, which is where I got the tilt and turn signal levers. If not, anyone
have a clean one from a tilt column they'd like to part with?

-Scott

For reference, some pics of the tilt vs non-tilt shift lever. Tilt is the one on the
top, non-tilt on the bottom.
