Does anybody know why they made 2 different fan shrouds on these cars and where I can find the older style?

I'm not aware of any huge changes to the shrouds in the 79/91 Ford/Merc run. Likely differences in depth to compensate for the different radiator widths.
Best bet for finding one is finding someone who is parting out one.1990 Country Squire - weekend cruiser, next project

One reason is the Police/Taxi model required a different one for the thicker radiator.

that might be more of a brass v aluminum radiator thing than a police / non-police one. The one in my Towncar is a brass 2 core specified for a police car. I don't remember issues with the fan shroud exact,y but its using a 1990 Towncar one and its been a good number of years since I fooled with it.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
