35 Pickup Front engine mounts

Just tried to put the engine onto the frame. The front engine foot mounts are too narrow to mate with the frame holes.
The distance centre to centre of the engine supports is 19 1/4 inches. The centre to centre distance of the new rubber mounts on the frame is 20 inches.
The pickup is a 35 with some minor upgrades like juice brakes. The engine is a 37 with block off plates. As you can see in the pictures with the new rubber mounts centered over the frame holes they are to far out to MAKE it work. Has anyone experienced this problem, could there have been longer mounting feet with the lower water outlets. Or have I missed something obvious.
This restoration has become 1 step forward 2 steps back.

I can't tell for sure but I agree, it looks like you have the earlier version. The pair posted by petehoovie are what you want to have. If you need a set, I'm sure I have extras around, just let me know.

It's not an uncommon mistake because the early version is correct for a 1935 Truck while the Commercial vehicles (pickup) uses the same mounts as the car. Sometimes the description of parts for pickups and trucks gets muddled and the distinction between a truck and pickup gets lost.
 
Thank you Petehoovie for the referral to my for sale ad for the front engine mounts for 1935 Ford cars and commercial vehicles. I just sold them today to Daveyyc in Canada.
