Default Different size pulleys - 1969 Firebird

Are there different versions of this bracket that would affect the mounting position of power steering and alternator in relationship to crank and water pump pulley alignment?

I was looking to replace water pump pulley thinking that it would correct the belt alignment of alternator and power steering pump. After looking at the situation closer, the water pump pulley and crank pulley are in alignment with each other.

It's the power steering and alternator pulleys that are out of alignment with the water pump and crank pulleys.

I have used spacers to correct the alignment but I was looking to correct the alignment by matching the correct parts instead.

I also looked up the number on the water pump pulley and it was for 1971 and 1972 HO 455. Not sure how it ended up like that, but I used it because of the smaller diameter thinking it would be better for cooling.
