Both could be correct. Originally you would have had the paper type that goes inside a canister with a big bolt through it. However, it could have been converted to a metal screw on type. If you still have the early canister type make sure you get the spring and pressure plate in the correct place or else rapid engine wear will ensue....

It'll only fit on in place of one that's already there. They are an aftermarket fitment

The screw on canister is unlikely - unless your car has been modified it needs the paper filter which is fitted from below. And as siad above - it is VERY important that the plate and spring are present - otherwise the filter does absolutely nothing. Do you have the workshop manual ? It's detailed on page AAA.2. If you don't have the manual - you can download it FREE !
