Some of them (probably mostly the earliest-shipping versions) came with 
the old style "big" card that took up a goodly bit of space under the 
hood, some with the newer style "just barely big enough of it there to 
mate with the slot" version. And then there were the others that came 
without any 80-col card installed at all...

Function of both types of card is identical. 

Determining if your particular machine was one that came with the "big" 
or "little" card from the factory is likely to be effectively impossible.

Go with the "big" one if that's all you can find - It'll be just as 
"authentic" as the postage-stamp sized one.
