As far as I know, this era of Packards should have an AC filter unit so I can't advise on the Carter type.

Odd as pretty much every Clipper I've seen had this same Carter type, with the short bowl and element.

Since they were technically an accessory (PA455381), perhaps dealers installed the Carter ones as they made better margins on them. Similar to why they always used those Yankee mirrors instead of Packards own.
Also, for reference, the number on top of the Carter is their general patent number and has no relevance to the actual model of the unit.

The Carter 30-82 replacement is the correct one. About $8 on Amazon and comes with a new gasket.
New on left, not sure it is coated with something blue. Hit it with some brake cleaner and it didn't come off. It for sure is more porous that my one. Installed and working without any issues.
