Default Hood Hing Identification

I have a couple of hood hinges and I am trying to identify what they fit. I cannot find a part number of them anywhere. I think I know one of them is for an A body 64-67 but not sure exactly which one. They are both very similar, yet are a little different, one has a wider pivot arm towards the front than the other one and the bolt holes are more elongated on one than the other. These are both RH side hinges. Wonder if anyone knows how to identify them for sure.

Looks like 1st and 2nd design '64 - '67 Tempest/Le Mans/GTO hinges with 2nd design on the left.

Thanks for the input, I did not know they had two designs for the 64-67 years, makes sense I guess, as they are real similar. Do you know if they ever put a part number on them?

No numbers

2nd design came along when the 1st design kept folding up. That is why 2nd design is beefier.

I agree. I've had 1st design hinges on '66 fenders, so I think it was a late change.
