Default Quick Q on 68 shifter/crossmember brackets

Does the shifter bracket bolt to the transmission bracket after the T.B. bolted to the crossmember?

Or does the shifter bracket bolt to the crossmember first, and then the transmission bracket bolts onto the shifter bracket?

No AIM...it was in my basement during TS Lee last fall.

Here is a picture of the area that I need help with.
Is this configuration correct, or is it the other way around?

Mike, Just short for Transmission Bracket so my post didn't get too wordy.

I'm just trying to figure out which bracket gets bolted to the crossmember first before I slide the engine and trans down in. The shifter bracket looks like it will be in the way of the transmission to me, but then again I didn't take these brackets apart so I don't know what it should look like.
