Default 1970 Hood Hinges

Ive researched some threads on here & just got confused...
Original hinges are supposed to have numbers 524 & 525 on them. Or a row of xxxx. But I found a GM memo from February 23rd, 1970 stating a change of the hood hinges, but the memo doesn't list the part # that they supersede. My car was assembled on 2/5/70. My hinges are numbered 479737 & 479738. I count 26 springs. My hood is also before the braces were added because of the breaking & warping problem that the hoods had.
