You saved me the trouble of writing up a review of your pix in your original posting. Enlarging your pix I came to the conclusion that the 35 mount had been altered with a plate attached to catch the wide bolt spacing.
I have read that the '36 tire mounts vary from body style to body style, however I have never noted any difference except for the "August Mount" which has an extension to catch the lock, allowing for the shallow center of the August cover... Through the years I have gathered up every August cover and mount I have ever encountered.. Pix attached
I would surmise that the 4 dr open cars, trunk or trunkless would have a different spare tire mount.
