Question REAR BUMPER CENTER BRACE/BRACKET

I know '65 was solid and '66 had the small relief (for Fuel Spillage) but what about '67?
I thought I had some notes on it too being slightly different from '66 but can't find anything.
Online shows lots of "66" brackets for sale but no '67. ??

Cheers.

Part numbers are different between '66 & '67... 9782292 & 9786074.
Here's an original set on eBay for reference... https://www.ebay.com/itm/166343931528

Correct, which leads to my question of in what manner they differ.

Looking at images of both '66 & '67 offerings they appear to be the same to me or does the surface that mates to the bumper have a deeper curvature on the '67?

Cheers.

Looking at the photos of both side by side, I think the '66 bracket may be a little shorter front to back?

Hard to tell from the online images.
I had both brackets in the past but neglected to note the variation between the two
