Hi all. My dad passed in 2023 and left a neat ‘78 laying in pieces so I’ve finally decided to put it back together. I’ve searched all over man’s can’t figure out why these anchor plates for the leaf springs are 2 different sizes. My thought was that it would be a front and rear one, but I have only found two of them. Any help would be so appreciated! Thank y’all

The one with the two different hole spacings is for the passenger side on the front axle as the inner u bolt goes around the housing itself. The other three goes around the axle tubes.
