Notice the reverse lockout
On one it is toward the driver and the other pointing toward the left. When I first installed the shift lever on the Pattern 12 I had it the wrong way around and had to reach behind to shift the lever. As the lever is easy to remove (sometimes) and will work either way around I suspect that the it from time to time may get installed the wrong way around. The length is more important and how bent the shift lever is. On my Pattern 12 with the lever pointed forwards in 3rd gear it is touching my knee and not far from the steering wheel. It would be interesting to see the different (NOS) shift levers side by side.
