What are the distinguishable differences between 57-58 and 59-62 Shifter Handle?

[Mark S.]

Are there any distinguishable differences between a 57-58 versus 59-62 chrome Shifter Handle? I am aware the 59-62 has a Shifter Shield that covers the reverse lockout mechanism and is attached and the bottom of the Shifter Handle via a small pin. Does the 57-58 Shifter Handle also have this small pin insertion hole, I am assuming not? What differences if any exist between these two shift handles?

59-62 has a vertical machined groove 5/16? Wide, on the driver side, for the lockout to move up and down in. 56-58 does not.
