That looks like the first 6 Pak I bought. But it wasn't "all original", the center carb had been replaced. But the intake, end carbs and air cleaner assembly appeared to be OEM A12 parts. The air filter was a Mopar part, still had the drain hoses on the base. My recollection of the wing nuts look like the one in MecGen's pic's.
The old wing nuts looked like that I believe also. It was back in the 90s but I had an A12 Bee and 6-7 AAR and TAs.6 or so V code Es. I just didn't think that much about the wing nuts!!

I didn't think about them either, just remember the 6 Pak wing nuts were different than my other stock air cleaners and the hardware store nuts I used on other stuff and I used on my other carb combinations. No idea what the "show judges" look for.
