That is at least one of the styles used and also what would be floating inside the Cobra vent caps.

 Howard posted one time a invoice for pallets of Prestolite/Autolite batteries (early obsolete style battery).That obsolete style used push on caps instead of the conventional screw on caps. Shelby no doubt took advantage of a lower clearance price for the obsolete style battery.Mopars are at least one car mfg that used the reverse post(at least reverse from Ford)because the battery was mounted on the driver side.
