What distributor on 1983 CL? Picture request

I'm buying a lumenition optronic ignition for my 1.3 83 CL. I need to know the distributor type to get the correct fitting kit.

I've had a good look at my distributor and it seems to be a different one. Can anyone with an 83 driver or 1.3 please post an image of their distributor? I've looked in my Haynes and the images don't match it in there but I think it's from an early 1.3

Hi

There are two types of distributor fitted to a 1.3 GF engine bosch and ducellier they are marked. Usualy the bosch has a brown cap and the ducellier has a black cap
