That's it, V200 radios from a similar vintage will fit, the type which was fitted low down in the dashboard in front of the gearlever. Later V200 radios, fitted high up in the dash won't, the facia plate has a curve on the left (or the right, depending whether the car is LHD or RHD).
Speaking of facia plates - those are the model-specific bits, not the radio itself ...
Later OEM V300 radios are the same as OEM V700 ones, although the wiring in the "block" type connectors can be different.
In the Mk1 I originally had one of these:
but have now deleted the tape player (which I never use anyway) and gone for the more "traditional" look
Tape players were available right from the beginning, in '76 you could get 8-track in your 343 too ...
