That's the correct style for 64.5-65 and maybe 66. This style was replaced by the pointed type that fits the common bell housing shift boot.
I don't know the switchover date, maybe some clues in single year MPC's.

The boot for the early style fork is near impossible to find.

The original fork on my 66 GT350, late March San Jose build, was the pointed tip style.

I have a car built very, very close to Dave's, and it has the later style also. I can't say 100%, but it is very likely original to the car.

My Sept '64 San Jose has the "replacement" one also and I have no reason to believe it is not original.

A lot of things can happen in 52 years. Wouldn't be unusual for it to be replaced, it's a wear item.

My 65 with build date ( Dec 22 1964) has the original clutch fork and is like the first picture.

My original Aug 64 k code has the fork in the first photo as wel.
