I believe that the only difference between the original and the repo is that there is a 2 digit number under the part number on the original lid. the repo only has the main part number on it.

Bob Perkins has some for sale.  Not cheap though.

Glad it worked out. Did it come with the pump?

I see that Mustangs Unlimited sells two different windshield washer reservoirs for 70 Mustangs.  They admit on their website that the Ford (Motorcraft) reservoir isn't concours quality possibly due to design changes in subsequent years.  The reproduction reservoir is a "more correct version".  Interestingly, the more correct reservoir is $7 less expensive than the Motorcraft.
