Both of my 73s used the longer base, I don’t know how the shorter one would work.

Is this what you're talking about? Regarding bases? Which one is E9 again?
The third one looks the same to me, it just has the extra bracket in front attached to the mounting plate.
The one with the extra window is for the E9, the shorter one for the E24/E21.
The third one in the photo below is installed in a Nevada 2800 imported from the USA.
The front is completely different.

I see what you mean. Could the first one be e3 as the console is very different?
It is exact match to that in my '75 Euro CS.
It appears that the E9 model had two different evaporator bases.
Perhaps these differences exist in the construction of the evaporator base in pre- and post-facelift models.
In any case, the original A/C evaporator base is difficult to replicate.
Every craftsman I spoke with about this said it was certainly possible, but it wouldn't be cheap due to the shape, which requires more precision and time to replicate.
I think the best solution would be to redesign the base to standardize and simplify its construction while maintaining its functionality.
I think the longer ones with a window are only for E9.
I'll keep you updated on progress.
Why not route the air up to and out of the speaker grille? I personally like fresh air blowing at me when driving
