Mine has small “snap dots” on the hips and the mating clips on the skirt. There was also different methods of coupling the upper and lower bodies, mine uses heavy steel staples. Whereas others use screws. Here’s photos of mine and I am attaching links to 2 repairs of the other style. From what I can see both styles used the same motor, perpendicular shafts and gear assemblies https://jpmoeller.com/2017/01/01/dodge-hula-girl-lamp-repair/ https://jpmoeller.com/2017/06/28/a-second-hula-girl-lamp/
