Are the sun visors for a 1959 flat top different than the other roofs?

Hi,
I haven't been able to find any documentation, but based on a few pictures I've been able to find, it seems the 1959 flat top (four window sedan) may have a sun visor that's a little shorter and doesn't have the cut out to go around the side of the rear view mirror. Can anyone tell me if that's correct?
I have a flat top without sun visors and I'd like to make sure I'm getting the correct ones.
Thanks in advance.
Sean

Sean, there must be a difference: in the MPB, there is a part number for model 6229 with trim 31 and another part number for the models 6239 & 6237 for the same trim 31.

It caught my eye on one flat top picture that the visors were straight, where every other visor I've seen came down to the mirror sides, so I started looking around more.
I didn't realize there was a roof line difference on the flat top that required it, but I'm glad I looked.
Thank you for checking into it  :)
