Changing the fuel presure regulator.

This is on my 92 F-150 5.0 aod tranny.
I was going to change my fpr today but couldn't figure out what size socket I needed, nothing I have fit. I then noticed by feel, that what I thought was a hex head was round.
Perhaps it's stripped. I could only see one bolt, and barely feel the other 2
So are the bolts hex heads or not, if they are what size are they so I can get the right socket?
Another question. The FPR I got from O'reillys doesn't look anything like the one on my truck. Mine has only one fitting underneath it that is a chrome elbow leading to a fitting with some sort of clamp on it.Maybe I need the special fuel line removal tool.
The Oreillys one has a fitting about 1/2" long with an O ring on it and another smaller diameter fitting of about the same length. They both have the vacuum line on top.
Is mine a dealer only part or did I get the wrong one from Oreilly's?
Any and all info you all can give me will be greatly appreciated.

If I remember correctly the FPR fasteners are allen key or Torx.
The correct regulator for your truck looks like this..

Should be round screws with an allen screw hole in them.

Thanks guys.It's great to actually see what I am working on with your great pictures. If Ford had put he damn thing is a place that I could actually see what I as working on,I woulnt have had to ask such a novice question. Nor would I have lost the only oportunity to replace it that I will have for another few weeks.
Thanks to the storms in the area, and being booked solid for side work and my regular job, it will be that long before I can work on my truck again.
The part I got from Oreilly's is the 3 bolt one and best I could feel on mine is that it is the 3 bolt one aswell.
I will have to buy a set of allen wrenches, as I can see that the set I have won't work at all. mine are all connected in a handle type thing.
Any idea what size allen wrench I need to get it apart?
