In what way didn't it mate ?

No, shouldn't be. There are shims that are sometimes used between the
starter and the engine block, which increase the depth of engagement (for
the later starter) between the gears. However, the flywheel is different,
if you've still got the early flywheel, the later starter may not engage
properly.
