Changing the fuel presure regulator.

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.

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?
