The S1 had a rad mounting flange parralel to the core, S2 had them at right angles to the core.
So the 2L is a late S1 radiator with side straps that are in the S2 style. The S1 rad is narrower than the S2 aperture, so they have a wider "Z" shaped side strap than the 2 1/4l. I have a couple I don't want, but your a long way away
