I know this may have been asked before but I picked up this 68 with early fenders for dirt cheap. Fixed a few leaks here and there. Now trying to figure out these front fenders. Turn signal holes don’t match, I know the beading is missing from the pass fender but any help figuring this out would be appreciated! Thanks!

Not sure exactly what you're asking.
The holes on the right one don't look stock to me. I'd guess both are aftermarket with different histories.
stock turn signal locations:

| Pictures of the headlight buckets and trailing ends where they meet the running boards will help with identification. |

Looks like you have an early front apron too, since the bumper bracket holes are in the body rather than the fenders.
Whats the first three digits of the vin? |

The thin black paint showing through on the driver's side fender would have me believe it's an aftermarket repro which likely had no turn signal assembly holes when made. Your passenger side fender looks more like an original to me.
Good news is at least the horn grills are in the same location on both sides.
