i looked up on anders somight to see what the numbers mean,
and one is listed for a 2.0 , 74-76
the other one(cleaner one) says 75-75.

i can tell you the both ran like crap compared to whats in the car and i really thought when i bought the nice lean one with all new stuff inside it would run much better-
one onther thing is they are off from each other 180' so no wonder one ran bad but the it doesnt explain the clean one on right- are they both for a d-jet or one for L- jer and does it matter?

Probably have different advance/retard curves, with the one for the 1975 being more retarded so the cars woudl pass the stricter emission requirements in 1975.

I seem to remember the end letter (VW) A,B or what refers to the type of vacuum unit,have you checked the movement of the advance plates must be free and easy.
These units have a bad rep for sticking up on the advance plate a very common issue ,seen lots when I rebuilt them years ago.
