73-75 Hardtop Brackets

These are the originals that came with my 75, they were originally painted body color green. When I bought a new roof from a 74 donor vehicle, the brackets were just like these too.

we have a new mystery then...

1. Did they make two styles?
2. Are the square ones leftover from 1969-72?
3. Did they redesign to save a little bit of metal?
4. Why does the parts illustration show the rounded version?
 
Could be the different parts are from different manufacturers for the different assembly plants. :dunno:
 
My 74 was from the Flint plant. There were several plants for the Blazer but don't know where and for what years.

@Deuling has some to duplicate, however he’s swamped working on a sweet project truck.

He should be cutting some once that project is finished up!

FYI the brackets on my 75 were like the ones @Chief Brody showed. Don't have the truck anymore, but I distinctly remember the triangular shape.
