Just bought these oem 67-69 Barracuda fender splash shields. They are rusted but very solid and renewable

I always thought the passenger side was just a reverse mirror image of the drivers side. After I media cleaned, primed and test fit the side, it was way out of shape. Closer inspection shows the passenger side to have a more severe bend in it at the top than the drivers side. I don't have the original shields off this car to compare to.....so I'm looking to you folks for some input. I can most likely press this shield back into shape, but before I do I just want to make sure I have the right matching set. Thanks in advance.
 
Looks like your missing a weld nut in the passenger side one
 
Make sure that metal is not obviously bent- they should be the same- just left and right. These are difficult to remove/install. After bodywork (getting body right) then splash shields wouldn't fit. I had to remove long rubber seal to fit.
 
If it helps, outside of passenger............
