Yes, buckets are the same, but of course each location is a different part, so all four are unique. If you have an identical pair your missing one

Both my GTO & Lemans parts car had galvanized buckets. Both Pont Michigan cars. I was researching that as well & it seems its either a plant thing, or an early/late thing.
I am sure there was a time when those bushings where not available & headlights were made to work in anyway possible. One of mine had a home built bushing on it as well when I took it apart. For what its worth, all of the original parts were black paint dipped & hung to dry like so many other parts like this. I saw all the telltale paint runs when bead blasting them clean. There is lots of room to work on them after paint. I Pre-fit everything, adjusted & took a few notes. Then took it all apart for final paint. I made a stand to hold the bumper while assembling it. I have lots of pictures....

The aftermarket springs are fine. However the plastic adjustment pods/nuts are garbage. You want originals for those.

hears one of my buckets from another thread I started 3 years back.
