Refer to reply #14. All the packages of any part, size pack, and year I have seen as "Cobra Kit" items with shipping labels had DST return addressed labels.
Evidence suggests that versions 1 and 2 were obtained by SA directly for their applications, version 3 is sort of a missing link with a Ford aftermarket accessory engineering number, and all the others with Ford 'production type' engineering numbers came through Ford-DST.
Day one onward, not everything customers could get was the same as SA bought or made for their own use. This has misled countless people since the 1960s who assume incorrectly that everything in a SA catalog or parts list is the same as used in new cars, street or race, SA completed.
