Re: Period correct NOS vs Real Factory
The Factory also used Clamp assembly 1257765 and 1257766 so that is good.
Here's the difference... The assembly used at the factory used a nut with a capive washer which needs to be sourced seperatly to be correct.

Re: Period correct NOS vs Real Factory
Here is another comparison... The big clamp at the converter originally was part # 14089474. This clamp was superceeded by # 15529483, both clamps are identical on a visual from the faces.
