Does your bike have ‘CHOKE’ and an arrow, painted in red fill, on the choke lever quadrant?
Mine has, and according to John Brookes’ book used only a short cap on the lever. More by accident than design, the short Yamaha tip I used (see the posts linked to) is about right, I don’t need the long plastic cap with the kink.
As your bike is earlier than mine, it may be the same.

Here's my early type choke assembly, with the writing on the quadrant. As far as I can find out, these didn't have the longer plastic tab with the kink and the white writing on.
The rubber tab fitted is the Yamaha part, as linked to in the Facebook post above.

Yes you’re correct it’s just A tip , the dog legged plastic version with the relief was on later models .
Thank you for the fb link I’ll try that route or as you’ve done go for one pretty much near perfect

No its identical to the original which was flat that's why i made one up as some owners were fitting the Yam ones which had a different profile.
