Yep, plus since the picture shown above was likely taken in early June 1965 who knows if it was the original air cleaner that came on the car from San Jose.

This is the decal that came on my NOS in the box air cleaner with the burgundy filter.

Thanks Bo
I am going square !!!!!
Now if the mods dont open fire - do you have a shot of the 289 HP decal on that same cleaner ? 

[YELLOWBOSS2]

Can anyone tell if the cars in this pic have the straight one or the curved one?

Kind of looks like there curved.

Mark,
The 289 Hi Performance Decal never came in the box with the air cleaner
I got in a trade. Don't know if it was supposed to or if somebody took it from the box
prior to me getting it. The Autolite Decal was already mounted on the lid so I tend to
believe the 289 Decal wasn't a part of the package. The number on the box
was C5 something -W. The 289 Decal I use is from Jim Cowles.

Hi Bo
Thanks for letting me know. I will put the square Autolite on, Just looked at my 289 HP decal, it has no part number, has a glossy sheen, and a white bottom right chequer as have all the others I've seen.
Jims is very nice and as you know the chequers are the other way round.
In the grand scheme of things not a major worry 
Just tryin to get it right thas all.
Thanks to all.

B. Perkins had some of the decals with part number on them and the white corner.  This is what I plan on using on the K convertible.

I did not realise Bob was a seller of such items. do you have a any contact info thanks.

http://www.perkinsrestorations.com    he's got all sorts of mustang stuff. check it out. he's a poster here but it is best to call him for parts & such.

[CharlesTurner]

I think he recently had some of the decals on ebay, so he may still have some for sale.

Charles,
Does the decal Bob sells have the cellophane cover over it like Jim's do.
See picture.
Could you post a picture of Bob's, please?
Thanks,

I can't tell, but the design is exactly like original, including the farthest right corner of the checkerboard being white and the last 'H' in HIGH being aligned with the edge of the checkered flag pattern on the left.  I actually had one of Jim's stuck to the air cleaner lid until I started comparing it to original pictures and realized the ones I got from Perkin's were dead on for the design.  The only thing about those that look a little odd is the background color is a little more on the reddish side than orange.

Here's a pic I took of the air cleaner tonight, with the decal I got from Bob on it:
