Core support difference 2WD/4WD?

I have a guy looking for a core support for a 68-72 4x4. I have one but it is from a 67 F350 2wd. I can't imagine Ford would make a different core support for 2wd and 4wd but I have been wrong in the past. Can someone enlighten me on this?

I have the taller of the two core supports in my 67 F350 with the larger opening which leads me to believe this may also fit the 4x4 trucks?

That was my understanding. I had a 72 f250 4x4 with a bit of a bent up core support. I also have a 70 f350 that had the same core support, I swapped them out. Both trucks used the same big radiator.

Here is the scoop from Jefffafa:
C7TZ16138A....67/72 F100/F250 4X2...w/o Super cooling/////C7TZ16138B....67/72 F100/F250 4X2....with Super cooling, all 4X4, and F350.
C7TZ16138A took radiators with a 19 3/4" core height radiator.////C7TZ16138B took radiators with a 24 1/4" core height radiator.
