Anyone know if there were two types of block heater?

I had the engine swapped on my '85 300D and it seems the replacement block's heater does not match the cable's end fitting. It does plug in, but there is nothing to keep it there. The heater in the block is fine and the cable is intact - it just won't stay in place.

Here are some pics that might explain this better:
