Default Engine mounts for 70 SBC

The rubber in the LH engine mount is getting a bit past it so I decided to get a replacement but when I pulled out the old one I found it is a lot narrower across where the bolt goes through the mount and the chassis. Further investigation has revealed that the engine mounts in my car are the same as C2 ones has anyone seen this before? According to the parts site all of the SBC engine mounts were the same for 60 - 82.

Closer look I have found that the RH engine mount is standard but the left hand one has been repaired and for whatever reason it was fixed to carry a C2 sized mount instead of the correct (wider) C3 mount.
