The "milk can" lifter has a mushroom-shaped pushrod seat that projects up into the side cover area, and uses a shorter pushrod. The later engines use a lifter that's a little shorter, and does not have the odd shaped top. Those shorter lifters are available on Ebay pretty often. The amount of wear you've measured is well within the possibility of regrinding, however. The price of both types of lifters has gotten outrageous!
