Probably just a different design but still could be a functional cap.
There were other designs that worked too, e.g. all five leads coming
straight up out of the cap some with push on connectors.
Some of these alternate designs may have been correct for other marques
or engines, but AFAIK the "2 level" arrangement with the spark plug
wires held in the cap with set screws were the correct fitment for both
TR3 and TR4.
