From what I could tell, the area the 4 bottom radials bolt on the main section looks like the plate is a thinner piece and theres only 1 hole for the radials to be bolted on there....

I have one of the old ones on the back porch, and it has the 2 holes for the bolts...and this plate is also thicker on mine...

I don't know how you tell if its thicker or thinner just by looking at my pics?
 
Yippie....the tree cutters are here working like eager beavers cutting away at the huge maple.(y)
 
The Mighty Maples Last Stand.

The tree cutters are wittling her right down to bare bones.....me n that tree grew up together.

6th pic is my German Shepherd checking out the strange goings on in his yard. :D

I got to agree with that...savage little ankle biting beast`s with no fear what so ever.
If you have time, it would be good to record some info about the antenna you are using now ( after the tree is gone) with others you talk to in your area, maybe RX and TX signals so you can do a comparison with the new Antenna?
It would be cool to see how well the new antenna stacks up.
Have fun.
