Mike,
  Most of the '60's I've seen have a simple round oil cap without ears...and 
without "OIL" embossed on them.  The battery hold down is as you discribe.  A 
good view of it is on page 2-9 of the '60 maintenance manual.  Inboard 
attachment is by threaded rod whereas the outboard is held by a bolt into the welded 
nut bracket.
