Did the late Squarebodies come with aluminum top SM465 transmissions?

I had always thought all Squarebody SM465 transmissions had the cast iron tops but a some point I pulled a shifter out of a squarebody that must have been an aluminum top as the portion that goes into the transmission is larger diameter than the earlier ones. The shift levers on the OBS trucks that I know came with aluminum tops only had one bend as the dash is shaped completely different. Has anyone else noticed this?
