Here is a photo of a PDP 8/A 620 with the style of
card guides that
Vince is referring to: (I think)

Yep, that's what mine look like.
Different than the 8/A 400.
Here is a very clear photo of the card guides and cage for that beast.

Yes. I'm unclear on whether the other kind could be used. It looks like
the appropriate little rectangular holes are provided, but I don't think I
have a 400 to try it.
Those "400" guides actually look easier to use. The kind I have are
frail and fussy.
