According to "The Book of Norman", page 165, Ford HEH E toploader gearboxes were installed after car #B9470056. These cars also used a revised short shifter, reverse lock-out T-handle and shift knob.
The version of the short shifter continued until somewhere around B9472300. The long shifter came into being at this point.
