Many cars back in that day didn’t use catch cans at all. Some just ran hoses or “draft tubes” to the bottom of the chassis. Later in the 70’s, most sanctioning bodies required “puke tanks” for both coolant and oil in order to keep it off the track. That said, many car owners and builders came up with something to contain the lost liquids before they were required. I think that’s one of the reasons you have seen so many different styles and designs.

Hello Larry,
I had an original '66 factory Mk2, chassis# (GT40 1012 P). The catch tank on my car was the upper rear cross member. It was hollow, about 2 1/2" square and also served as the upper transaxle mount. Hope this helps.
