I'm pretty sure all of the original AR-15 A2s (regular and HBAR) had the exact same lower receiver as the Sporter I and Sporter II. I don't think Colt started selling them with the fencing around the mag release until around 1990. At least, that's the impression I get from looking at my Dad's old Gun Digest issues.
