Default 71/72 pass side heat stove mounting and vacuum hose gutter

After reviewing these details with a couple of members here, and searching around on the threads, I can't quite find all the info on this topic. I'm trying to clarify the details associated with the passenger side heat stove and vacuum hose gutter bracket:

The vacuum hose gutter bracket (available from PY RPE230) bolts to the intake studs. That's clear.

The heat stove base plate may have two tabs and appears to snap into two slots on a U shaped bracket, also mounted to the intake studs?

A. Can someone confirm both brackets do bolt to the center crossover studs?

B. Does anyone know if the heat stove U shaped bracket is reproduced? If not, maybe Norwood could produce this. The sketch provided could be sent straight to production I'm sure.

C. The only heat stove base plate that I've been able to find does not look like it's close to being correct for this application. Has anyone found a correct base plate that includes the tabs to snap into the bracket? Pictures of an original base plate would be great also.

First picture shows the gutter bracket.
Next 3 identify the U shaped bracket with slots.
Last pic is a sketch of the U shaped bracket.
