Would a 66 have the alternator & VR on the passenger side?

I don't know about the rivets, they look correct but maybe flat? This is my old 65 that I believe to be original:

I looked at a 66 that had the alternator & VR on the passenger side. No holes on the driver side....& manifolds with heat tubes blocked , on both sides
It appears that the 66 car...has a 65 engine compartment..(Front End replaced)....?

The engine belongs in the 66..numbers match, what does not belong is the 65 front end. Including shroud , alt, VR...manifolds...real strange. The VR was tucked in the front passenger top inner fender
