Default Distributor Hold Down Bracket - 1960

Anyone have a photo of an original stamped steel hold down bracket?

How does the current reproduction hold down bracket differ from the original?

My December 1959 build car has the wire hold down now, but informed that it is incorrect for the car.

I don't know what is correct as far as the Judging Guide but I believe the wire holdown first appeared in 1960 on pass car and Corvette with a carburetor.

The fuel injection engines used the stamped steel plate through at least 1963.

PS. The last sentence is contrary to the JG so I don't know who is right but I have good reason to believe it is me.
