V8 Timing Gear Cover

From the SASCO website:

TIMING GEAR COVER 1956-1964 V8's Exc R1 & R2

Why would the standard V8 timing cover not work on an R1 or R2 engine?

The pointer is different. For an R1 you need a real timing tab instead of the little screw in steel pointer. The covers are the same AFAIK.

Thanks guys, the timing mark pin vs the plate makes sense.
