Default Timing cover broke!!!

So I was trying to remove the oil dipstick from my timing cover and while tapping it out with a hammer and it broke into 3 peices.

Now I have a question. I have looked at a variety of timing covers and it appears that I have one from an early 65. Will the late 65 bolt up. I think it would also make purchasing a water pump more simple.
