gear shift lever insulator

I replaced my shift collar today on my '62 f100 (3 on tree) and figured I might as well replace the gear shift lever insulator as well. It appears that the one currently on there is part # B8S7246A. Is the correct replacement or should I use part # 01A7246B instead?

do both work for manual trans? from looking at mac's; 01A-7246-B is for a manual trans and B8S-7246-A is for an automatic trans.

I have a manual trans but the insulator I just pulled off was B8S-7246-A. So should I replace it with B8S-7246-A which is for automatics according to mac's or get the 01A-7246-B for my manual instead? Thanks.

Parts catalog lists B8S-7246-A for A/T and both 01A-7246-B & B8S-7246-A for 3 M/T.

Because of this confusion, I posted their lengths.
