ID this trans crossmember, please

I ended up with the top crossmember with some 904s I was gifted. I think it was on a '63 slant 6 trans, but I didn't worry/ pay attention at the time, as I thought it was the same as the bottom one, which came off my '64 V8 Barracuda. Were the really early A body pieces different?

What I know of 1963 to 1966 has the same cross member.

Upper one in picture is stock 63-66
Lower one has been modified 63-66 for dual exhaust.

Both are considered “early A”

I figured so as well, but the difference in bolt spacing has me wondering. Unless V8 cars got a different trans support, and the torsion bar crossmember was drilled differently?

I've got to pay a bit more attention to what I'm doing... the bolt spread is the same, it's an optical illusion in my picture.

Actually, it hasn't been. The dark line on it is a paint run.

They're not exactly the same, but, they can be swapped with minor mods. '63-5 used the two stud transmission mount. In '66 they went to the one stud. There's also and extra bolt hole in the later crossmember, but, I can't remember where it it located or it's purpose. IIRC, there are three versions of this crossmember....all for single exhaust.
