83 380 SEL warm-up compensator vacuum connections

My 83 380 SEL has always had a stange start-up fault, which my indy says is a faulty warm-up compensator. (when stone cold it will idle very slowly then stumble and die for about the first minute, then the idle will smooth out, settle down at 650 rpms and run perfectly)

I bought a used replacement but it has different vacuum connections than the one in it now (see photos). Which is right and what goes where?
