Pic request - fuel filter/accumulator/bracket for '74

I've got everything torn off the driver's side inside fenderwell for general cleaning and condition assessment right now (fuel stuff, capacitive discharge stuff, etc.) One thing I noticed is that the P.O. had the fuel accumulator (which he spray-painted orange for some reason) clamped to the bottom of the metal bracket (held to fender w/ 3 bolts) and the fuel filter was just dangling next to it, not really clamped to anything. The fuel hoses might or might not be "correct" so I want to get a good reference photograph of the correct bracket, accumulator, filter & associated hoses if possible.

Thanks in advance. I'll post pics later tonight of what I've got - I just want to make sure I'm putting it back together "correctly".

One issue I've identified is that apparently the '74 cars used a "squat" fuel filter that attaches to the bracket above the accumulator. This is not the filter that the P.O. had on the car (just the commonly-available long skinny Bosch filter - at least the guy had a filter on there at all!) I want to use the correct one though. . .

Sorry to inform you but the "correct" one is NLA so you need to retrofit a later one.

Read about two options here: Updating A 1973.5 911T Fuel Filter
