Hood hinges

I have a 74 vert. When I got the hood hinges back from the paint shop, they had returned two different hinges. Can someone with a 74 vert send me a picture of the hood hinges in their car so I can figure out which one is the correct hinge. Thanks.

Unfortunately no shots of the 74 hood hinge in that collection. I someone has a 74 and can take a quick pic for me, I would really appreciate it.

Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.

Both will look like this, with opposite stamping for each side.
There is also a slight curvature difference between the two.

If you have a hinge with a wider stamping, it isn’t for a 73+ Super, it’s for a Standard, flat Super, or something else altogether.

Good Luck
