What about the numbers on the label? Does it helps? It doesn't correspond to the GM part number.

777 AAA, I'm afraid the label means nothing to me, but I guess that in keeping with sound military practice the same units were common across a range of vehicles.
So there are three things to consider:
1/. Does it fit? 5 hole fixing. So probably.
2/. Is the length correct, to reach the bottom of the tank? Its certainly "looks" about correct. and:
3/. Does it work? Why not connect it up outside the tank, and manually raise and lower the float arm to set if it gives full gauge movement.

It does look right and if the bolt hole pattern in the flange fits the bolt hole pattern on the tank and the length right, then it should work just fine.
