Muncie shift handle id

I've had this Muncie shift handle stowed away for years for use in my '69 Biscayne with a bench seat. I'm questioning myself if it is correct. I referred to an old post on this site about the same thing put it is slightly different. The handle is curved compared to the others on that post. Any help would be appreciated.

STEVE:They are 68-69 Impala 4 speed handles, different from Chevelle. The Muncie one fits aluminum case Muncie transmissions found in big blocks and the blank one is from a Saginaw trans. They look like console handles but it's hard to tell without a measurement from top to bottom. Consoles will be about 13" where a bench handle is 12". DANNY: The Handle that is blank came on the rusty Muncie linkage and I think the height is less then a 1/4'' lower but I will check there are no numbers stamped on either handle DANNY:Steve you are right, it is 1” smaller, It must have been change at some point; It would have gone on a Saginaw.

Marc I went back to your post about the shifter handle lengths for Muncie but the pictures no longer exist. Could I impose upon you to post them again? Thanks in advance

I always thought the curved handles were for Chevelles. Both of my floor shift cars, 1 bench,1 buckets, have straight handles with the 30 deg bend in the middle. Don S

Curved are for Chevelles. The short handle is for
bench seat, slightly longer for console. I have a photo ,will try to find it and post.

My shifter is almost 15" long from the base to the shift ball treads. Sounds like it's a Chevelle console shifter.
Now I need to find the correct shifter !!!
I can't figure how to upload images.
