The vast majority of 289 Cobras were invoiced as "Cobra-Ford." Only about 9% used the term "Shelby AC Cobra", and that term was mostly used on the early 260 and worm & sector cars.
As for the 427/428 cars, I find only four examples that used the word "Shelby" in the description on the invoice.

The information is in the footnotes in the Registry.
