Yes, the Opel M20 4 spd gearbox rear mount is different to the Aussie M20 4 spd and M15 3 spd rear mount.

My spare is the same , it would take the stress out of the mount with the bottom fitting flat .

If the height of the original mount is the same as the later ones , I will try and get a picture over the next few days of an old mount .

A bit hard to get a good shot Paul but the original engine mount stops before the rib at the front .

I just used a standard mount and re drilled the holes as they are offset to clear the extension housing strengthening web.
