Chuckies, If you look at the Pontiac listing for the mitymounts, you will notice that they do not list mounts for the early firebirds, and their listing is incorrect for the '69 Grand Prix and other Ponchos with the pre 1970 non 5 bolt mounting boss engines, so clearly they are not the same.
It would appear that although they "mitymounts" have a part number listing for the earlier engines, they do not stock them (or make them). The ones from Butler may be by mitymounts, but if so they are not the same as those from polybushings.com - the method of construction is very, very different, at least based on the descriptions and limited photos on the mitymounts website. There aren't any bolts going from the face of the mount through the poly on the ones made by polybushings, it would seem that they interlock the stainless parts of the mount, hold them in a jig/mold to keep them apart, and pour in the polyurethane, let them set, open the mold, clean them up and sell them. Look at the different pictures: mitymounts:

Very different indeed, and the polybushings are very, very beefy. I think Polybushings is a small US company making their parts in their own shop. I am not certain of this, but based on the information on their small website, and the focus of their product range, this would appear to be the case.
