Help!!! - correct SBC engine small lift bracket

Need help from my fellow Forum members,

I am reinstalling original valve covers on the 350 with A/C on my 4x4 Jimmy.
Also want to buy an reinstall original the engine lift brackets.
For two reasons. Original and a potential engine rebuild.

I know the two brackets and the location.
But I have a question on the small bracket that goes on the rear passenger side.

The small bracket has a 90 degree bend between the top and bottom of the bracket.

But on some of these brackets I have seen, some have a second bend on the top part. Not 90, but 30 to 40 degrees. This top part also is not symmetrical. it is skewed to the left. Not talking about this skew.

Are there two different small brackets?
On the ones that don't have the bend, did they straighten when they were used for engine removal and reinstall?
So there is really one none small bracket?

Not sure the correct bend but I do know they get bent from use. I just usually bend them so they aren't in the way of anything and leave them alone until next time.
