David, let me take a stab at this. The top two are for a BGT, they're
longer for the higher windscreen of the GT So those are out for the
roadster.
Many years ago I went through the same issues with my roadster. I ended
up sending an assortment to Moss. They sorted them out and sent me what
they said were correct for my 1969 roadster. I ended up with three of
what appears to match the bottom wiper in your picture.
The basic difference in the three blade roadsters is the finish; silver
paint, chrome, or black. Another difference is the method they fasten
to the car, some are a pinch fit others are a screw on type.
Now lets see what the rest of the list says. I'm no expert when it
comes to wipers....
Good luck.
