Bob,

I have a limited amount of info on these filters but you can add it to yours.

What you call the "smaller case"  is approx 2 1/4 in long x 7/8 in wide and
has mounting holes approx 1 1/4 in apart.  The filter terminals are approx
1 7/8 in apart.

What you call the "large case" is approx 2 1/2 in long x 1 1/4 in wide and
has mounting holes approx 2 in apart (on diagonal).  The filter terminals
are approx 2 1/4 in apart (on diagonal).

SB-300 uses the 404-M202 P23 CW filter, the 404-M201 P22 AM filter and the
404-200 SSB filter.
SB-301/303 use the 404-284-1 CW filter, the 404-M285 P364 AM filter and the
404-283 SSB filter.
