  There is a difference between the 70 and 71 wing.  Here's the 71.

from what Ive always thought the 70 has more rounded, less sharp end and corners.
I think it has a different texture to it also.

Just curious, why don't you think yours is correct?  Is it an original one or repro?  Originals I believe are made from ABS plastic, repros I think are made from fiberglass.  Look in the hole for the mounting brackets to see what material it's made from. 

'71 style "gull wing" go wings I would imagine are pretty standard, unlike the '70 style which looked similar to the Ford versions but the Ford versions were a bit narrower and on shorter pedestals I believe.  Omly Mopars had the '71 style wing to my knowledge so they should be pretty standard sized, IMO.  Could be wrong...

This is an old picture of my 72 Cuda.
It has a wing I put on the back but it's from a Ford Mustang.
As Super Blue 72 says you can see the suttle difference between the others.
