hello i bought a new power pac

hello i bought a new power pack but i think that maybe its a couple years newer than mine the only difference is that the cover plate for my one thats on my motor has four screws to srew the cover on and the one i got only has two but it has the same number connections and is the same size its just from a newer model but still a 70's model would this affect anything im just going to leave the cover off

"Matt, any idea what it would cost to have this motor shipped to Canada? I'd be willing to purchase the lower unit from you. I need a lower unit for my motor as mine is severely damaged and don't want to pay $1300 for a new one.. Let me know."
