Different oil filter adapter?

[VermontTy]

In pulling a housing where the oil filter attaches from my local junkyard, I noticed that there are several different PN's. One was used with just an external filter, and had no flange for the oil cooler, and I didn't jot down the PN because it was noticeably different, and a no-go. The one I ended up pulling was 10055535. Looked the same as the others, but when I got it home and looked at my Ty, it had 10237270 cast on the top by the CAUTION sticker, which has now been changed to 10236272 according to GM.

Anyone run into this, or know what the difference is in these parts? $63 for a new 10236272 from GM kinda hurts, but it's what is specified for us. Thanks all.

I also have an '89 S10 Blazer that has a leak at the hose on the remote filter and could use some info on what takes what and where the cheapest place to source them is. Thanks.
