No sir. There were two original versions made. One had a darker cover and brass screws, the other (the one being offered for sale in this thread) had a lighter greyish cover with alloy screws. There doesnt seem to be any rhyme or reason as to which cars got which version of 427 cobra manual
Below is a picture of a dark cover, brass screw version
They also made two different versions of 289 manual, one with a lite colored cover and one with a darker cover. The dark version is for worm and sector cars, the lite colored version is for rack and pinion cars. Notice difference in screws here as well.
Best regards,
