To me, the one on the left looks correct, and the one on ther right 
looks home made, but I'm not an expert on 64's.

They both look like the bracket is hanging too low.  I've never seen one 
of the front ones broken and sagging, maybe that is a salt belt thing, 
with that big backing washer corroded into oblivion?.

pics attached -- my driver 60, an FC w/engine out, and a used early 
front motor mount

okay, experts, do the later Earlies have different mounts?

I think maybe it is time to take the mounts out and look at them.

no.
