Hi Steve,
Sorry that is a trick of the camera as both are pretty much identical apart from the depth. The deeper one has no markings, whilst the shallow one has 1A 253 in raised letters on the nose. Which leads me to believe that the former is reproduction and the latter is genuine Austin.
The only possible effect of using the thicker one is that it will be very slightly closer to the radiator!
Cheers
Howard
