I bought a set of BBC crane gold roller rocker from a guy here. Got them just fine. Just bought another set on ebay and when I compare them they are totally different.
Both say crane, both say 1.7 but are a different gold color, one set is twice as heavy and twice as wide.
Anyone know why, what I have here, or more important if this matters????
Maybe just newer and older models or something?

I am not new to the game but I didn't know different rockers were for different valve springs....
Can anyone help me post pick to see if anyone can identify these 100% for sure?

They did make some changes on part # 13750-16
from old to newer ones, but it's mostly up around the
push rod area where you notice the difference.

Sounds like you have a standard set and a Wide Body Set. They are different part numbers if I remember right, I looked at them but wound up using the Comp stainless.

If they are the Crane Golds a lot of guys are using those. They are what come in the Merc Racing engines. I used the Comp Stainless because I heard they were better and they were about the same price.
Bob what brand of rocker did you break? It seems like I saw a pic somwhere.
