A904 inspection cover fitment with mini-starter

I have one - mini starter on my 66’ 904 and no troubles.
It is for a 96 Dakota with the V8 not the 5.7 hemi.

My 72’ Demon 340 and manual trans also has a shield. Same starter and no issues.
I wonder if it is just that starter and the HEMI is the same, but different if you get my drift. Either modify the shield or change the starter.
