The dipstick tube measurement is listed on the part diagram.
As Steve stated, any number of factors could result in a different part.
I agree yours looks suspect. But wether available new now is red or yellow is unknown to me as parts can be superceeded. Paint it, if that's your goal. If it's red, it may be the fingerpull version. Mine is the hook type which faces toward the radiator.
If one were say at the time of an oil change quantify the new units of oil put in, measure from the top of the tube and compare the marks below the tube to the level, it may give you some comfort level.
Assuming the car has been running for sometime, someone did something at least in the ballpark; even if we can now say it could have been done differently or authentic. Mine is cut deliberately by a previous owner, connected by a short hose and clamps. I would rather see that than a bent up piece that wiped the oil off. But I know the engine has been freshened.
Be careful if you're thinking about a new tube. If it doesn't come out easily, you're going to drive it upwards out of the oil pain area easy if the engine's out on a stand. No so easy if not depending on your skillset, raw determination, or you've got a stash of kruggerands around for just such an occasion.
Happy trails ( Blue as Murray would remind us all)
