Horn relay

I am attempting to find a NOS horn relay GM 391924 and was contacted that I maybe looking for the wrong number. Does anyone have a NOS 1115833 horn relay that could share a picture please. Evidently the original number has been changed a few times and design altered as a result. Give me a Private Message if you have something. Thanks

391924 isn't wrong if it's for a 58-67 Oldsmobile (all) or a '68 Toronado. A guy on evilbay is selling an Echlin/Napa relay and he says the book shows it replaces the 391924 and the 1115833 so they couldn't be too different in the plug area. A lot of other ones in the parts book are a longer number that begins with 111 so maybe that number was changed? My book is too new or too old to show much, Wmachine would know for sure.
Need pics to see the differences if any, like you said.

Thanks. Like you said, we need a good pic to understand the correct relay. It has also been observed that during the 64 year, a design with a cover similar to later relays, i.e., headlite and power windo, was used and then the Littelfuse brand with the flat rectangle cover as well.

My relay is 1115882 and there is an 882 on the bracket, cover has the raised Delco Remy and letters on the corners, maybe that one number's bracket is marked 833?
I was on evilbay and there is an original relay for those years on there but the exact year isn't known. It is different than replacement in that there is a plastic base where it bolts on and the original is all metal, case is shaped a little different, probably other stuff too. The old one also has the same cover markings as my original '71 relay, the replacement has nothing.

I borrowed the pic of the original.

Maybe somebody will see it with an all original '64 or somebody will remember the old dusty NOS original GM parts box they have with something that looks like that relay inside...somewhere.
