Default rear BB engine lifting eye question

What is the correct rear engine lifting eye bracket for my 1968 3x2 BB? Mine was missing and I'm not sure what the correct one looks like?
thanks for any help!

The rear lift bracket is the same on all big blocks in 1969. Here is a pic of the front triangular bracket as well as the smaller rear bracket in front. These are all original brackets as well as the bolts which are either head marked M or H and there may be other head marks. The rear bracket is 2-1/4 inches long.

I believe they make a good repop of both brackets. However, you may have to buy two sets from two different manufacturers. One maker makes a nice front bracket but incorrect rear bracket and the other company makes a good rear bracket but poor front bracket......
