Can I use this exhaust manifold on my 72-73 F Head (with SU's)?

The car currently has a junky aftermarket header that leaks, bumps into the right control arm, and is welded (not flanged and bolted) to the rest of the exhaust. I've got this manifold from my '69 parts car, but the internet has me confused with info about early vs. late oe manifolds and whether there's a difference. I also have the rest of the exhaust from the parts car, so ideally I'd just swap everything over (with some fresh studs of course).
In short: Will this manifold work well with my F head?
