RE: Sounds like a standard 1968-later type damper.

Dave Shoe is correct. I have an externally balanced 428-scj in my '69 Mach 1. It uses the 1UA crank and heavy capscrew 427 rods with this "hatchet spacer" counterweight:

The hatchet spacer slides on the crank snout and the timing cover seal runs against its O.D. The heavier (but still neutral balanced) dampener goes on after the hatchet spacer and has its own key. But, guess the long and short of it is, I don't know what other FE's were externally balanced besides my SCJ with hatchet spacer.

This thread, so far...
