Rear spring shackle differences

Is there any difference between a '63 and '65-66 rear shackle? I thought the rear suspension was unchanged between the early and later slicks. I see lots of aftermarket shackles for '65-66, but not many options for a '61-64.

I used a longer shackle for the '65-'66 on my '64. I had to grind a small amount to get it to work.

When comparing stock to stock I believe they might be different length also. I know the hangers(riveted to frame) are different when comparing the height of the bolt holes.
