Azford,
I am lucky enough to turn wrenches on one of the original USRRC Cobras. I have also seen it side by side with a street 289 Cobra. I agree with peoples assessment that it is just the lack of a windshield that makes the profile look longer. I think that is what causes the illusion that the cowl area is longer and therefore the hood. From what I can see looking at the car the only external differences in the actual body itself are the front fender flares, the wide hips and rear fenders and of course the cut back doors.
Hope that helps.
