Water Outlet Elbow interchangability

Are there any differences between the various elbows? I have a 1275 head and need to get a new one. Also is it possible to rotate/clock these elbows? I am installing this in a Lotus replica not a Spridget. I see that Moss carries two different ones.....
 
The late model ones point towards the drivers side and the early ones point towards the passenger side. There are some mini ones as well but I forget the differences. You can clock them if needed. Where do you want it pointed?

This is a 948 outlet housing on a my 1275.

I would like to point it straight ahead or if necessary to the left. I have a remote radiator and electric fan. Does one flow more than the other? I would think that if the hoses were the same diameter it wouldn't make a difference, but who knows?
