ERA 427 alternator brackets

Is this what your ERA supplied alternator adjusting strap looks like? I've seen some that were smooth, straight, ribbed, etc? Trying to determine if I have the right one as I'm having difficulty aligning the pulleys.

I'm also missing the 2 extensions from the lower triangular bracket piece.

Is that an FE or a Small Block? The FE adjusting bracket comes with the kit and doesn't have that indentation.

I don't have a close up but you might be able to blow this up. Mine is flat steel.

Thank you. The photo is not of my car, but another ERA. My car does have a 427 FE. My upper bracket looks similar to Dan's, but I'm missing the two lower extension pieces (like "g" in the diagram) from the triangular bracket. How these disappeared I have no idea (pre-owned car).

What did they use to support the lower, pivot side of the alternator?
