Hi,Craig. Understand the separate P/Ns for the tabs. What I was saying is 
that maybe it's as simple as the holes in the base making it a different P/N from 
the base sans holes. <unsnip>

That's a good thought, Andy, but I don't think that's the reason - here's my 
take:

The only Corsa-specific part in the whole program is the 3-speed lever for a 
'65.  The brackets do not install on the lever of course; they go on the 
housing. The prevailing thought is that the difference is its chrome plated surface 
finish vs painted finish.

Of course the housing is where the brackets go and there is no Corsa-specific 
housing listed in the parts or assembly manual. The housings for all LM 
3-speeds are the same (all the pieces are sold separately, there's no "unit" part 
number). The shorter housings for all LM 4-speeds are naturally a different 
number but still all LM 4-speeds use the same part according to the parts manual. 
  The assembly manual has instructions at to where the assembly-line 
installer is to drill holes in the shifter housing for the Corsa brackets.

I'm going to take a look at Clark Hartzel's input and double check it against 
the parts manuals.
