What flexplate in 89' W/727 trans

I have a 89' CTD with the 727 trans, and the flexplate has egg shaped holes were the TC bolts onto it.
Which flewplate do I need, is the one for the stock 95' flexplate the right one?
Thanks for any help.

One from a 95 will work and is in fact the recommended replacement for 89 to 93 flexplates that are prone to cracking.

The 94/95 flexplates are heavier and stronger than the first-gens, but fit in the same space.

Use Cummins Part Number 3946161.
