The bracket.. I know no practical purpose of the bracket.. it kind of keeps the hoses separated and possibly keeps them from rubbing the valve.. But different design changes over the years to the valve saw the bracket disappear. I'd not take the new valve apart, I would run it the way it is.

IMHO,

Is that the rock guard that early years had that went away?

It's called a stone guard. If you want to use it, just remove one bolt on the new unit,install the stone guard just tight enough to be able to remove the other bolt and swing into place.Or just leave it off
