Default 427 Oil cooler housing

Does anyone have any good pics of the original oil cooler housing? I plan to have a go at making one in the near future and want to be as close to original as my skill level will permit.

I have some pics, but it seems to me that Shelby changed the design on the continuation series compared to CSX3XXX series.

I have got various pics, including the one in the Rinsey Mills book. But none seem to show the area just to the side of the oil cooler housing itself. On Continuation cars it seems that the potential aperture between the rad and the nose to the side of the oil cooler housing is filled with a single piece of horizontal ali with a 1" or so lip thats rivetted along at the bottom of the radiator assembly. On older cars it seems this was a different design.
