If you are referring to the rear part of the fender (below the taillight), yes it is the longer of the two.
65 was the last year for the "short" rear fender.
66 CH was a one year only rear fender, no taillight wire hole, wire guide goes to the bottom of the front of the fender.
Coil indent appeared in 67 on the H, I think 69 for the CH.
