1966 Barracuda Hood radiator seal

The only holes that are staggered on the 66 are the outer ones. These are in the section that gets cut off to make it the right length for a 65. All the holes that are left are in a perfect straight line.

Looking at KitCarlson's photos, I can't see how the holes line up on a 65 and 66. The 66 seal is a U shape while the 65 is a L. 66 fasteners are staggered while 65 is straight across. What am i missing?
