1980 makes it a blueband?

Had one of those 50's years ago, great engine and was a 4 cylinder. The bottom one is kind of in the bottom clamshell if memory serves.

blue band yes

You probably dont know this but Davie is one of the biggest outboard dealers in UK, if he says it won't fit it would be worth treble checking before you buy them.

Surely you should have just bought a larger rib
