The short answer to your question is: Is your bike early or late? Palmer gives no indication of what this means.
Palmer gives a thorough discussion of air cleaners. We assume the same ones were used on K/XL as on Big Twin. Here's a recap:
1952-1954 - J-slot, chrome-plated steel, riveted instruction tag "Once a day"
Early 1955 - J-slot, Stainless steel, riveted instruction tag "Once a day"
Late 1955 - J-slot, Stainless steel, instructions stamped with frame around, "Wash mesh", NO circle-R!
1956-1959 - Center hole w/Bar-and-Shield, Stainless steel, instructions stamped w/o frame, "Change cartridge"
1960-1965 - Center hole w/Bar-and-Shield, Stainless steel, instructions stamped w/o frame, "Service air cleaner"
Later-production as spare parts - the 1941-1955 style J-slot with stamped instructions and a circle-R (registered trademark) stamped at the bottom left of the Bar-and-Shield logo (next to the "C" in Cycles).
