They had 2 sized batteries, they are interchangeable. The larger one fills the tray and is preferred of course, but there is a smaller one which will work fine, just not "optimum". Originally the car probably had the smaller one, which was held towards the inside of the battery tray with a metal wedge sort of thing. Later the larger one was probably installed, the wedge is removed and the "big" battery would then fill the whole tray.
In a pinch you could just trust the battery hold-down to hold the small battery in place, or you could just cut a piece of 2X4 to act as a temporary wedge. The battery cables should work fine with either battery.
I used to have a few of those wedges (the official part) around somewhere.
