That's probably the only difference. After all, it's just a dog-legged piece of steel that's threaded on one end and has a two hole boss welded on the other. Ford probably made them for less than two bucks each.
My present shifter on the Toploader looks real and operates as you say(pulls up and is spring loaded)
