the bottom one will be as it say becuase the bend in it is where the carb would be.

i have just bought that bottom one mate and it came today. I presume that you got those off ebay, in which case they are probably from the same seller..
I have a 1.2 and the one he has advertised as being for a 1.3 fitted mine no probs, and i reckon that it would fit any nova. The one he has advertised for a 1.6 engine i reckon would probably only fit some novas because of the position of the airfilter whereas the 1.3 one runs along the bulkhead and so should fit any. To be safe i would get the 1.3 one, though he does offer a refund if they dont fit.
