Default Differential Bracket

My recently puchased 71 coupe has a different set-up for the rear diff to frame mounting bracket. It looks as though it may be an aftermarket set up of some sort, the bracket not only mounts the diff to the frame but it extenda back to the rear spring and is used in place of the bracket that holds the spring to the diff. Has anyone seen this set-up before?? I am going to replace it with stock but I am curious as to why someone would use this set-up. Thanks
