Default 1971-1972 GTO & Formula ram air cleaner ID

I have three ram air cleaners off of 1971 - 1972 A-body and 70 - 74 Formula cars. All three have minor variations in construction. I'm trying to determine what application each of these fits. I know one is 455HO because it has a hot air tube on the passenger side, but I'm not sure what year. I'm also not sure of what the other two are. I suspect one could be bought over the counter.

See the photos. Air cleaners from left (1) to right (3)

Differences:

Air Cleaner 1 D-port (left)
- 4 wire/vacuum hose clips on bottom
- One flat at back
- Flat straps on dashpots

Air Cleaner 2 455HO (middle)
- 2 wire/vacuum hose clips on bottom
- Two flats at rear
- Curved dash pot straps

Air Cleaner 3 D-port (right)
- 3 clips, appear to be dual (different from other air cleaners)
- One flat at rear
- Flat straps on dash pot
