Default Best 427 original rear wheel well shape ?

I've been looking at different manufactures of 427 cobras for the best original shape. Most seem.....to be more rounded. I'm not sure how to explain the original shape ?
Original- It looks like, starting from the front bottom, that the fender starts to flare out wide, rounds out over the tire, then again, flares out even wider.
Replicas- the front flare looks smaller and not as wide, the wheel well looks bigger, and the rear flare, again, looks smaller.
Do any of you have side x side photo's of the rear fenders from different manufactures ? Which company's have the correct shape ? Searching several of the replica's built, most say that "their" cobra, is "identical", to the original. But, unless it's my bad eye sight, a lot of them have just a simple round arch. The biggest problem I have with the fenders is that some look like the openings are too large, thus showing a lot of the wheel well instead of tire. When I see the originals, with the large flares, the openings are full of tire. I realize,.... it depends on how you have the car sitting with the suspension and adjustable shocks ect.. If I happen to find any photo's that I can post, showing what I see, I'll do so.
What do you guy's think ?
Thanks
