The "dashes" are all the same if you are only referring to the top cap. The vents change the lower dash or the vinyl piece that covered the area between the dash cap and the windshield
no, the dash top was different also when the side vents appeard, minor side detail, if you put a late dash on an early cars lower dash assemble, you cant open the early bigger glove box door all the way, it will hit the later dash top. in dash top i refer to the big foam/vinyl piece that forms the hood over the instruments and runs the width of the car.
this can be an issue when foks replace cracked dash tops, you need to be specifc about the style not all folks are even aware of the difference. just been thru this issue with a friends 914, so that how I learned
yes early cars had an extra windshield vent. in the middle , however it was not mounted on the foam/vinyl dash top, but rather on the metal dash structure that is forward of the dash top.
hope that makes sense
