Default Model 17-3 Box?

I recently purchased a Model 17-3 that was manufactured in 1975. It did not come with a box unfortunately. I was interested in getting a box but I am unsure of which one is correct. I think I have narrowed it down to these two types. Can someone tell me which one is the correct one for my 17?

Thanks!
Navarre

I believe the one on the left.

Circa the Bangor Punta era 1966 - 1985 ish.

One on the right is 1983 - 1997 ish.

The two piece box on the left would be correct for your revolver.
