I haven't looked at the pics/links, but have had 7 7/9 cars both NA and turbo, and have done radiators in several.
The T radiator extends down through the lower rad mount, right through the long slot there. This gives it (my guess) about 12-15% more cooling. The NA radiator stops at that lower metal mount. I got a good deal on an all metal rad that is the short one, and am using it in one of my T cars. I just did a 1k mi trip with no issues, including over the Grapevine north of LA in traffic, and going uphill at 70-75 the temp never moved, so it seems to be working well.

That plug top right, you MUST SECURE IT. Many use zip ties, but be sure to use something. The plug is, believe it or not, only secured by the rubber expanding at exposure to coolant. That's it. One of mine recently blew out, the coolant was quickly lost, and I got to do another head gasket after another car needed one.
