Default Anyone recognize this mounting bracket

Putting my car back together and trying to sort out what I have and what I need.
Does anyone recognize what this bracket is for?
Most of what I got with the car was for my 1969 but a few 1971 parts were mixed in.

And one more thing, does anyone know why my downloaded picture are so big and close up? I have never been able to download smaller pictures

Could it be the reinforcing plate for the wiper pivot mounting? Goes through the cowl from inside.

Thanks so much gentlemen!

Must be a spare that got into my parts. Such a helpful wealth of knowledge on here.

Well its not the wiper pivot base for a 69 or a 77 ! Both of my cars had four separate bolts to sandwich two plates to the cowl , the outer one had the three studs , but is pressed with the all around lip facing upwards .
