BR shift plate

Posted this on JD section, but figured most of the traffic is here...
1936 BR, trying to replace the B shift plate that was on it. The BR shift plate I bought won't go on. It will only go within an
inch of forward position. I put the B unit back on, and double checked neutral. BR plate still no go. I checked them side by
side, and found that the engagement plates on mounted opposite, that is one bolts to front, the other to rear. Added to that,
the B plate has the engagement plate at a approximate 60 degree angle, while the BR plate is at 90 degrees. Included pics, the
greasy one is B, the other is BR. Anybody know what is wrong, and what I need to do? Is it possible that the 1936 plate differs
from later, and I bought a later version? Appreciate any help, I am in deep doo doo on this one...
Forgot to mention, my shift plate is B707R, which should be correct....

They look so different that the common factor might be the bolt holes in the mount surface. the small (lower) lever is a different length and could not work. Could it be remade to fit, probably. Jim
 
Big thing that sticks out to me is the pressed steel plate that is bent at a right angle is on the opposite side by the looks of it if that matters as well as the cleaner one with no grease looks like the lever is on a slide travel sideways that the greasy one doesn't seem to have or is not visible in the pictures.
 
Just going by how significantly different the two covers are, I would have to theorize that the tractor has been updated internally to accommodate the shifter that fits.

You can see that second arm is much longer in addition to all the other differences between the shifters.

My guess here is that the "correct" shifter is not going to fit without a lot more work.
