There are two well known versions common to all the cars and a third maybe. They are all the same brand and model number but made with different forging dies, different fonts, and different other markings. The big mystery is whay so many sets just say Germany instead of the logical W. Germany or West Germany. Since the same model was available before the Cobra era and are still available there are just about as many versions floating around as decades it seems.

Today the excepted practice has become just get a matching set with the correct clamp for the the time frame. There are lots of singles of the versions common to Cobras/427 Cobras around and usually not very expensive. I purchased ones as in the tool kit set and ones smaller and larger and have them just as tools to use in my tool box in the shop. Use an old very used Thor hammer also.
