Oil dipstick length and style

I ordered a new engine oil dipstick and tube, just wondering if the length and style is correct... It's for my Charger -68 with 440 and a stock 402 oil pan. I attached a few pics with measurements. Anyone know if it looks to be "correct"? Unfortunately I have nothing to compare with.

The tab attaches to the lower bolt on the engine mount, is that correct? My old tube (chromed Chinese piece, obviously not correct) had the tab mounted higher up on the tube and attached to the upper bolt of the engine mount.

As long as it fits fine it will work. Pretty sure the 402 pan should hold 4 qts + 1 with filter. So if you put 5 qts in, run the engine and then see where the oil level is at on the dipstick and mark that point, you will know going forward if you are low on oil or not.
