Looks like you are correct. Their website says that HO (and thus RA) manual trans cars had 2 1/4" headpipes where standard engine and automatic models had 2" pipes. The HO and RA manual trans exhaust systems had the flattened portion to clear the crossmember I suppose. Here is a link to their website. You can see the area that is flattened.
