What is the correct style cover for a manual brake master cylinder on a 1970 Duster? Lever or Bolt in Center?

The one on the left is for drum brakes although not correct appearance wise. the one on the right is for disc/ drum applications.

Correct style is the one on the right with the wire hold down as mentioned.

For the gotta be original crowd the oem part number for the 1970 a-body disc brake master cylinder is 2229171 (I think). Those are hard to get, and the prices can be absurdly high.

I bought a 70 Duster around 76 with 25,000 miles, /6 auto with standard disc and had the one similar to the one on the left, easy to tell it had never been off. Could have been a mistake from factory. Made into a race car and was the best stoping car I ever owned. Original has a strap over the top where he bolt goes thru. Every power disc brake one I have seen has the one on the right.

My manual 4-wheel drum '70 Duster (/6) uses a bolt on cover. It's been in our family since '78 or so.
