Alan and Brad,
Again, no difference in the shroud on BJ7 vs. BJ8. The dash is different but
it doesn't affect the shroud. The deeper spaced wrap around convertible
windscreen assembly is what makes the difference and it sits in exactly the
same contour on all convertibles, which is where it differs from the 6
cylinder roadsters.

Brad -
If it is a '63 shroud, that means it is from a BJ7. This shroud will be
shorter because the dash is different on a BJ7.
If it's a '64, then it's probably from a BJ8 (unless it's a US model year
'64, then it could be from a BJ7). All BJ8 shrouds are the same length and
size, the only difference is an additional mount for the separate parking /
indicator light on the front shroud, other than that they should be
identical.
By the way, let me know if you would be willing to sell the left front
quarter of the shroud to me after you are done chopping up your shrouds. At
some point on my BJ8 this part was replaced with a clip from a BT7 or BN6
and the grill openings and the part above the grill are different on the
earlier sixes.
Best,
Alan
