I did some digging into the Chrysler parts books.
The oil pressure senders were changed March 1971.
Gauges installed up to March 1971 use sender 2495 222.
Gauges after that use sender 3488 609.
edit: I was prompted to check the gauge section, and the oil gage part numbers for the A and E bodies are the same throughout the '70 and '71 model year.
So really have no idea why the book calls out a different gauge part number for service replacement for cars made before and after March
