please note the AOA bracket(red line circled) positition to the Flight Path Vector(green line circled)

one is IRIS F16D, the other is Dino's F14D with a HUD change using Scott Printz's freeware HUD.

both scenario are too fast , that's to say, need pitch up ,get higher AOA,

but one display the desire AOA bracket is above the FPV, the other is below the FPV, in this case, one is 'pull the FPV in to the AOA bracket' , the other is 'pull the AoA bracket to cover the FPV' .

which display is correct , or both correct? Just like the air refueling difference between USAF and USN?

Both could be correct, even within one service you may see both. Something there is no standard on, I guess. The Dino F-14 uses the F-18 HUD, and it's correct, for the F-18...

From "a pretty good source" for the F/A-18E/F:
