Default Battery mount question

I'm pretty sure my battery tray is not correct since the one mount off of the frame has all different size holes in the lip and when I removed the rotten wood from the bottom of the tray frame I noticed the battery frame screwed into the car frame. The battery is on the passenger side and the picture below is zoomed in from a far away shot so it is a little pixilated. I notice on new repro trays they say 63-67 w/air or 65 396 and they are offered without air. I am going with a big block and vintage air condition.

What tray do I need to order?

If you convert to the big block/AC system, you’ll need a different tray and hold down that mounts on the driver side. You’ll also need the access panel for the rear of the left fender well. Obviously, you will need the long battery cable to reach the starter.
