1965 442 radiator identification help

I have 2 65 442s both needing to be restored. I'm currently refurbishing parts for the more complete car and I'm ready to take one of the radiators to be re-cored. The car I'm working on now is an automatic with A/C (12B build date) car that has a Harrison radiator part # 300143-R143. The tank is also stamped BLV. The other car is a 4 speed non-AC (05A build date) car that has a Harrison radiator part # 3002346-R146 and the tank is stamped BAV. Both radiators appear to be identical to my untrained eye. Can anyone help identify either of these part numbers?

Thanks for the information guys. I ordered a 70 A-body PIM from hairyolds last night and a 65 PIM this morning. Guess I could have eventually figured that out for myself. So 3002346 is not original to a 442. I bought that car from a salvage yard 5 years ago and it came without a motor or transmission. I'll go ahead and have the 3005143 re-cored as that was original to the barn find 65 I bought at auction a few months back. That car had been storage in a closed honky tonk since the late 70s. No trunk lock when I bought it. When I got the car home and opened the trunk it was full of old Playboys from the late 70s and early 80s. I'd post a picture but that might offend some.....
