rear wheel sprocket

I need to replace my sprocket. How can I tell the difference between a '59 sprocket and a 60-62 sprocket? My bike has a swingarm with hydraulic brake.

Do all years sprockets use the same rivets?

I just noticed a post from hibuck1 Oct 8, 2012 that is similar.

Looks like I have to tear it apart and measure it.

There has to be another way to tell.

When you pull it apart, you are going to want to inspect the drum as well. My 59 drum's lining surface was chewed up and the hub threads were all stripped out. So, I just bought a new one from Paugcho. I have a spare NOS Harley sprocket I may be willing to sell.
