Default Firewall clip info needed

1) There is a clip that holds the speedo cable to the firewall, I think it goes on the inside behind the dash down low, can anyone confirm?

2) The other is a metal clip that I remember being just below the flat portion of the firewall (engine bay) down by the frame where the firewall slopes before it transitions to the floorpan. It may have held the speedo cable but I remember the backup lamp harness being held by it. I think my painter removed it for some reason when the body was on the rotisserie. I want to say it bolted to the firewall below the accelerator pedal, can anyone confirm this?

Thank you-

As mentioned the speedo cable retainer is bolted to the underside of the floorboard, I've never seen the switch wire run along with the speedo cable.
The only clips related to the BU light SW were normaly bolted to the trans case.
From there the switch wire went up to the firewall harness supported by the harness "J" clip mounted to the Firewall.

Ames list them but don't show an image so can't say if it's the exact/same clip.
