Was wondering what the differences are between 69 and 70 outboard six pack carb metering plates. 69 are square-ish and 70 are more rounded. Can they be interchanged?

i did this once decade ago. you can use a '69 plate on a 70-71 carb but can't use a 70-71 plate on a 69 carb. the 69, or at least the ones i played with, had an additional passage that the 69 plate covered. slept some since then,... .
