Did I do something wrong or is this how they operate?

That's normal and the difference is due to the regular vs. tilt column (not the year).

It results in a different ignition switch being used for the regular vs. tilt column as well. They usually take the same connectors though, but you have to twist the wiring around a bit since the orientation of the connectors is flipped around.
