Default 1961 steering stops

I'm new to C1s and i am putting the original front suspension back together. I was checking travel of the spindles with the backing plates installed and it looks to me like there aren't any steering stops on the A arms as in a C2. Is it correct that the stops for steering travel is the bracket that mounts under the steering box and stops the arm from traveling?

The steering stop is on the frame where the steering box connects. The pitman arm has the nub where it hits the steering stops.
