That looks like a later model Cobra scoop… the LAT option rivet-on scoop was LAT25 and is proportioned more or less as shown in this photo:

This is probably close enough you could claim it as being period correct:

Especially if you rivet it on.

But: As others have noted, the forward facing scoop in the centre of the hood is not the best way to go for actual performance.

Cheers,
Theo
